Good luck Brandi, you on liquid diet?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. My physician only requires liquid diet one day before surgery. They also told me that I shouldn't have any pain. They'll give me a shot that will keep the area numb for several days

Omg you guys are lucky I am on day 7 of 14 day liquid diet

That's must be really hard. I'm glad I only have to do it one day. My surgeon and insurance didn't require me to lose weight before surgery. I just couldn't gain during my 6 months of weight mgmt

I'm required to do an all liquid diet for 7 days prior to surgery. The purpose is to shrink the liver. I'm so not looking forward to it. I have decided to remove all food from my home and donate to a local food bank. I figure it removes any temptation. Lord help me! Lol

That does sound difficult. Good job removing all temptation. That was a smart idea. I am not doing a liquid diet until the day before surgery. I have been on a 1200 cal no carb diet since 12/28. I am starting to get used to it.

      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.
