I started liquids yesterday and am still tweaking the plan. I am more hungry today than yesterday though, I think I need to reschedule when I drink my Protein. I think my secret is going to have to be keeping very busy for the next 5 days. I'm not nearly as anxious as I was and this support group is wonderful. It really helps to share the journey.

I am on June 6th and my bmi is low so I don't have to do the liquid diet thank god. I am getting a little nervous as ive never had surgery before, well except for my tonsils out when I was young.

When on a mobile phone tickers can't be seen nor added from the app.

Ok, so in addition to it being my birthday today, its also the 1st day of my pre-op liquid fast! Everyone is bringing me cupcakes but I cannot partake! LOL...but seriously, I'm a bit grumpy today perhaps from not eating, and the caffeine withdrawal headaches are constant!


Well, my goal is in sight, my VSG is this coming Monday, June 6! Keep a good thought going for me guys...will keep you updated!

Mine is Monday too, and I'm doing ok on the liquid diet. I'm finding the secret is to add Protein Powder to everything. It's keeping me from getting hungry. And I try to stay as busy as possible so I don't have time to think about it. You and the rest of us on liquids will survive. ????

My surgery is Monday as well. So far just coffee and Protein shake. Am very nervous but will try to keep busy, as well. Am making my own chicken broth. My coworkers gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card, which was so nice. I started all this in January...I can't believe it's finally here!

      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.
