Tomorrow I start my liquid diet, its not required by my doctor. But I thought it would be good for me.

I'm 35, starting weight was about 450 and now I'm 398. I decided to go with the sleeve my family are both happy supportive and doubtful but respectful about the choices I'm making. I'm super excited about the surgery, but nervous at the same time. I'm still waiting on paperwork and pre op appointment, other than January 6th 2016 let get ready to rumble for the new year.????????????????????????

Congratulations at making such a good start with your weight loss. That's amazing. :)

I agree that the liver diet is a good way to kick start this, I know I was glad that I did it as it got me into the frame of mind I needed after the surgery. Keep us updated on how things are going for you.

      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.
