Are you on a liquid diet? You should not be drinking juice as it has too much sugar. Stay on the Protein drinks. The first 3 -4 days are horrible, but after the sugar is out of your system for that long, it is much easier.

@@mgiii, call your surgeon's office when it opens in the morning. Speak with the dietitian to get exact instruction on what to eat and drink until your surgery date. Tell the dietitian what you have been eating and drinking (including the kinds of juice you are drinking). Be sure to tell the dietitian about your health concerns, meaning about not being able to eat Jello or popsicles. Also be sure to tell the dietitian about your trachea or tracheotomy (I am not sure exactly what you meant). Before the conversation ends, please be sure that you understand everything. Ask questions about any of the instructions that are not clear to you.

      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.
