Can't believe September is finally here - we made it! I allowed myself a bit of a last hurrah today (pizza and salad, a lovely fruit plate - I will miss them a ton over the next few months!) and am ready for the pre-op diet starting tomorrow. Had my teeth cleaned today and I called my surgeon's office just to be sure that was okay - I do not want to jeopardize anything at this point. And it was okay, by the way! Good luck vibes sent to you all!

this may sound like a ridiculous question but how is the purse and the proving everyone going to know who we are my user name on here is not the same as my Facebook profile name I'm going to assume they're going to send a message to inquire?

Day 3 of the pre-op diet in the books. Hopefully this is the worst of it, but today was tough. food is everywhere! Except in my house, I tossed everything (I'm moving soon). Good luck to those who have surgery this week!

My surgery will be on the 26th, so I am officially on the pre-op diet now. I am lucky that I am able to have Protein and non starchy veggies on my diet as long as my calories are 600-800.

It gets better. I am on day 6 and it was day 2 that was the hardest and day 4 where I stopped feeling overly hungry faint and had a headache. Now I just want food so I can chew.

      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.
