Aug 1st for me. My pre op is 2 shakes and a meal that's high Protein low carb. So I'm lucky from what I'm reading of people having to do just shakes!

Aug 3rd here - 4 shakes a day and at least 96 ozs of beverages per day (Protein shakes count). I'm mixing up my sources of Protein - ProJoe in the morning, Bariatric Advantage unflavored shakes mixed with unsweetened soy milk 2x/day, and Bariatric Advantage vegetable Soup protein for dinner. As long as I don't wait too long for the protein all is well.

sleep is easier after the veggie Soup

I go to bed when sleepy

Last night I went to bed around 7:30

Tonight I did not have veggie soup so it is more difficult - just starting to feel sleepy around 10:30.

      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.
