Cherie F...I can't imagine being on liquid diet for 12 days! I am barely hanging on for 5 days! You are a strong person! Just think, only 2 days away! Hang in there, it will be so worth it! Hugs and prayers to you on the 16th!

Newbe 312, this Isopure is not as tasty as the Protein shakes were, but I can do it for a day. So far I am drinking blue raspberry. I have a different flavor for this afternoon and this evening. The time has seemed to drag by, but now that is is the day before surgery, it seems to have flown. I am looking forward to tomorrow. It will be good to get the surgery behind me and move on with my life as a new, healthier, happier person.

I will have you in my thoughts and prayers as you undergo surgery tomorrow too. We will definitely be going through this together. Best wishes. Let's talk again after surgery!!!!!

I'm late returning to the party/group! Good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow! I report at 5:15 am in So. Cal. Hope I can catch some zzzzs's tonight. And yes, would love to buddy up or be in a group! Like @@songsmith I'm feeling under the weather and have a stuffy nose. Can't do anything now. @@Shiloh2004 I admire you for drinking Isopure, had the grape yesterday and it was fine. The mango/peach is meh so I'm skipping it. The nurse said it was ok so I'll keep it for after surgery.

      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.
