My surgery date is December 7, and I live in Marietta, Ga. I am currently grappling with the headaches and diarrhea that the liquid diet is causing, How are you doing with your liquid diet?

Hey hun. So sorry to hear you're struggling a bit. I haven't had any diarrhea yet. But the headaches are the devil..lol. I just keep telling myself it will pass. It's definitely a FIGHT aint it ! Are you getting Protein?

Hey hun @@anndriar15 ! Im doing well thanks for asking. Im a little down because my tastebuds changed soooo drastically and to be honest..All this sh!t Im trying to eat is nasty now. Im not interested in eating at all, so Im struggling to get fluids and Protein in It is quite an adjustment. My plus is Im dropping on the scale (of course).

Congratulations on your approval!!! Do you have a date? Keep in touch.

@@Dee~Dee I'm so elated everything went well with your surgery, I see it was on the 6th of December so you'll be coming up on one month post op, which is great!!! I'm scheduled for Jan 20th which will be approaching faster than I can blink... So I'm a little nervous, but excited at the same time, can you give me any insight? Especially on handling the Pre-Op Diet, Post-Op feelings, etc..

Pre-op diet is challenging but Im convinced its mostly a 'mind' thing. I actually enjoyed the Protein shakes, they helped me feel really full. I kept away from the restaurants and stocked my fridge early. I also practiced on and off for a couple weeks prior to pre-op start. What kind of pre-op diet did your surgeon give you?

Sounds Good!!! What type of Protein shakes did you get? I have Muscle Milk, in which I haven't tried yet, however I did try the Premier Protein brand and I enjoyed those... My pre-op diet consists of High Protein, low carb up until two-three days before surgery then I have to change up and do clear liquid... So my high protein diet should start tomorrow, in knowing that I kinda "BINGE ATE" for the past month or so, honestly I feel kinda sh*tty... I know better, but in my mind I had to get those last of the last meals in!!! So, starting Monday I have to really buckle down and train my mind to get on track because the 20th will be here before the blink of an eye!!! Any suggestions that you found helpful???

I used Premier Protein. To be honest, they were delicious before surgery but after surgery I can barely stand to drink them. As for tips for pre-op I dont have much.... Im a very competitive person, so even though the battle was in my own head, I went into it like a battle. When I was tempted I would ask myself 'who's gonna win this thing... The old you or the happier new you?' Everyday that passed got easier and my confidence got stronger.

      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.
