@@AmyNLaynie6 - I didn't have one for 3months. I had about two weeks. I had actually started my pre-op as soon as I got the approval letter and I had completed the last req nutrition class. My pre-surgery appointment was about 2 weeks later and at that appointment because I had already started the pre-op diet I could've had the surgery within 9 days. I opted for a little later because I wanted to be the first in OR and not wait in the pre-OP for surgery too long. I was too nervous.

I was on a medically supervised diet for about the last 6 months. I had ups and downs with it but I stuck with it for the most part. I'm down around 15-20lbs from last April depending on the timing of my weigh ins.

For me, the nutritionist didn't need to do a lot of education on WHAT to eat but rather more on how: no liquids with meals, eat slower, eat more often, focus on few processed carbs, etc

Awesome, I've been integrating my new eating style into my current one so I know what my habits are and what I like. I hear your tastes change after. I'm getting used to the schedule of Bariatric living. My family has been really helpful. My husband put a fridge in our room because the kids were drinking my shakes lil

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
