CONGRATS on your approval!!! I was a "jerk" during the first 2 days. I was very unhappy since I especially didn't get in all the foods I wanted to before starting this. My surgery date was scheduled so close, so as soon they called me, I had to hop on the pre-op band wagon.

So far im doing well and loosing steady, I may have 1 day to eat 1 meal that I really want before surgery if I keep this loosing up. My Dr. says as long as I don't gain weight. BTW how much weight can you actually gain by eating a burger and fries? this is a serious question lol, in MY experiences probably about 3lbs so If I do go this route I'll need to give myself 5 days to get it back off....

the answer is "not enough to make you not eat it one last time"

      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.
