@finallyfree....I would kill for a salad. My 2 week preop diet is low carb liquids only! I had an appt this morning with the surgeon and the nurse told me I could have 1 dill pickle spear/day. Woohoo! Something to crunch! Tomorrow I go for preop bloodwork and meet anesthesia. One week from today our lives will be changing for the better!

I just have to say that today I want to eat something real bad!!! On day 5 of liquid only preop diet, surgery is Thursday. As I'm getting ready to cook dinner for my family I want to sneak a taste. And my body feels real weak today at least I know I only have 2 more days after this. Surgery is on the 31st and I know I'll be all liquids after that but I am hoping it will be a little easier considering the sleeve will be helping me.

Thanks Monie. I haven't given in to any of the temptations yet! And I know I want to do everything I can to prepare for a successful surgery. But it is hard. I've spent the last two hours trying to talk myself into the Protein Drink, just not super fond of them. But I know I have to do I will and you are right the reward is worth it!

I dont know how you people do it with family to cook for. I have dietician appointme t on thursday so need to keep to the plan now. Only last night i stopped to think what life will be like a year post op or even 6mths post op. I have spent months trying to find out every single thing that could go wrong pre and post op but hadnt stopped to consider the positives of life after. How weird is that? I am not sure that it is real to me yet. This time next week, wow, still in hospital but all over. I'll ne thinking of you Monie.

I know how you are feeling. It is mind over matter, keep yourself busy. As long as you have enough Protein you will be fine. If you need support jump online. I had to do 2 wks of limited liquids.

Day 5 here. Surgery is 4/4. Super sick of everything being sweet. My hubby was wonderful and went to the local hibachi place to get me some of that clear onion broth they bring you before your meal. It was amazing and saved the day!

      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.
