Congrats. Im 12 days post op. I remember my 14 day liquid diet. It was so much easier to get through than i thought. You know what kept my mind from wondering back to food, my people on here and the adult coloring books. Im hooked and i even took 1 to the hospital

Thank you everyone! The anxiousness of it all hit me full force last night, but I'm better today. I am fortunate in my pre-op diet that I still get to eat until the 28th. I do hope to lose 5 to 6 lbs more before surgery. For you all who are having surgery the same day as me, CONGRATULATIONS and you got this! For the veterans, thank you so much for your encouraging words and wisdom.

      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.
