I'm on day 5 of pre-op diet. I'm doing very well on it but I really just want to eat food just to eat. My one meal a day is like the best thing ever! I will be on the diet longer than 4 weeks due to the way my surgery falls and the Dietitian is only in the office 2 times a week.....ugh! I've got to get out of my head with food! I'll be glad for surgery, can't wait! I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'll be over here drinking my optifast! Lol!

Well, all that is left now is my cardiologist approval, which I will get on March 7th. Than I will start my 4 week opti fast diet, so probably looking at 1st or 2nd week in April for surgery. Dr .Eichhorn will do the surgery on a thrusday. Humana just sent me a letter today saying my surgery was approved. Still have to have a egd and colonoscopy on the 23rd of march, but that will be done during my opti fast diet. Ready to get this done and moving on.

      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.
