I'm July 15th and my endoscopy is the 5th. They got me in so quickly...I feel scattered. I'm trying to stay busy but it's still on my mind 24/7.

I'm so confused about this liquid diet I don't know what to try and eat besides chicken and beef broth. The doctor said stay between 500 and 800 calories with 8 glasses of Water a day. I think it's okay to do the Protein shakes.

Do you have the paper the dr office gave you because mine specifically states what you can have and when and how much. I have two Protein Shakes a day Breakfast, lunch. So see if you have that it will help you out tremendously.

@@ChrisInc2 I read the paper it just states I can have the Protein powder with Water or the already mixed shakes. Then it states keep carbs to a minimum and stay between 500 to 800 calories a day. It also says stay on a sugar free clear liquid diet.< /p>

great that means you can have Protein Shakes you need the protein above all else.

Mine is July 15th. So much to do before then! They want me on a week pre op diet. I just recently heard about the Hair loss related to surgery so I am getting OGX Biotin & collagen Shampoo which someone told me about. Other than that no worries! lol

Finally some with the same date.

      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.
