@@Elle09 I got through the day, thank you so much for asking, I appreciate it!

I haven't cheated at all yet. I'm so proud of myself.

I'm a supply teacher and didn't get any calls for the last 3 days so its just been me and my thoughts. I have work from tomorrow until my surgery on the 30th and I think keeping busy is going to really help me.

It's all worth it in the end right?

From toronto here and you are In The right place if you want people to be honest with you :). I had an rny in October. What you are going through with liquids is normal. The first week is the hardest, second is easier. I started my Vitamins in the preop phase which helped with energy.

Hello Megan

I have VSG surgery scheduled for January 23, which happens to be next Monday! I'm getting really nervous right now and not to mention I'm currently on the liver shrinking diet. It's getting real! My thoughts are:

"I hope this works for me "!

@@Yvette804 Best of luck on your surgery! How are you finding the diet? You are so close to surgery, congratulations!

With hard work, I'm sure this will work for you! I am currently having those thoughts as well! I'm struggling so much to get through the diet that I'm wondering if I was just meant to be morbidly obese forever.

Hi @Yvette804it's going well! I hit a plateau for a bit but that was my fault from eating foods that weren't as nutrious as I should have because of my grandmother becoming ill, ending up in hospice and ultimately her death the last week and a half. But with the help of my family I am back on track and still losing! 40 pounds down and I meet my surgeon on Tuesday and am looking forward to continuing on this journey

      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.
