One thing you will learn in this forum is that every person has various rules and recommendations given by their Nutritionist and Surgeon.

Some pre ops are 2 weeks, some longer and some don't have any at all.

Some are allowed solid meals all day, some like myself was only allowed 3 Protein shakes and one low carb meal a day, some only Protein Shakes, and some as yourself it sounds like clear liquids.

You will also notice vast differences in post op diet as well.

One thing I have learned is that regardless of what everyone else might be allowed, or is doing, I have to follow what my surgical team puts in line for me. If I trusted them enough to remove my stomach, I have got to trust them regarding my nutrition is well.

It sucks I know...but you will get through this. I promise.

Just keep coming back to this forum for motivation. The fabulous people on here are always willing to help.

The head hunger is the worst. Ugh. I'm so sorry you are dealing with that. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Plus your body is detoxing from all those chemicals and carbs we loved so much.

The whole pre diet is very intense but I am so proud of you for sticking with it and for not looking for ways to cheat. That shows you are committed and are ready to do what it takes. Give yourself a pat on the back.

You will have bad days, good days and days you will completely question your decision to have the surgery, but I promise you will get through it and settle into the new normal and find yourself forgetting all the bad stuff.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
