I'm so nervous and excited too! I'm more nervous about being able to drink after surgery than anything else. I always have something to drink with me and always use a straw. I am going to have to re-learn everything. I also haven't been able to get in contact with my PCP to see if she will do all the follow up. She is on maternity leave until April.

Shanny, when are you being sleeved? And I usually have a Water with me always too! No more straws though. [emoji6] I hope your pcp will do the proper follow-up for you!

Premier Protein shakes, Cambells Soup on the go (creamy chicken and creamy broccoli) and some other Soups that I am going to run through the blender. I kept the Soup carbs to 10-15 per serving. I plan on adding broth to them if I need more to eat. I also got SF Jello and SF popsicles.

I cut out my beloved Coke Zero two weeks ago. That was a little rough. I drink iced tea sweetened with Stevia or Splenda and flavored Water.

On my first day, I only drank one shake, two Soups, a thing of Jello and a popsicle. That was only 630 calories. It was hard to get up this morning so I will definitely be having two shakes today.

      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.
