That is great news that your surgery date is just a little over 2 weeks away! Congratulations! Is your diet straight liquids? It's amazing to me how the diets all vary so much.

I started my diet on Sunday because I have my pre-op appointment tomorrow and didn't want to weigh more than the last time I saw my surgeon since I'd been a pig lately. I am going to have one last splurge meal though tomorrow night because my official pre-op diet is to officially start on the 30th. Anyway, so far the pre-op diet of 3 Unjury shakes during the day and a Lean Cuisine meal for dinner has actually gone well. I haven't minded it at all, but I am sure by next week I am going to be really sick of it. I will say that the strawberry sorbet Unjury is pretty gross though so I have tried mixing it with sugar free Jello and it's not quite as digusting, but it's still not great. Surgery on April 6th!!

Congratulations on getting your date and good luck with the diet. Keep in touch. :)

Will do. A few vsg vlogs on Youtube have people buying and eating this : https://www.amazon.com/Protidiet-Creamy-Chicken-Soup-Pouches-Net/dp/B001FUEY56/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1490730663&sr=8-1&keywords=chicken+soup+with+proti

I leave for vacation tomorrow night, but when I get back in a couple of weeks I'm going to order some. I also saw that some people will use regular chicken broth and add flavorless Protein Powder in it as well. Sounds disgusting, but whatever works to get that Protein down in the beginning is what we want and will do, I guess.

      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.
