THANk GOODNESS! I'm message you!! And I've been thinking I'd do the same. Mine is only 1 weeks so I'm gonna ease myself into it but slowly adding one meal in every week that's liquid only. So this week, Breakfast is my liquid next week, breakfast and lunch!

Please include me as your buddies!! My RNY is scheduled for May 18th in Chicago. I started easing into my liquid diet also & lost 16lbs in a month. I started with a hp shake for breakfast & 2 lean meals per day. After 1 week, I went to 2 hp shakes & 1 meal.

My pre-op consult was pushed out to May 9th. Looking at a surgery the week of May 22nd, but won't know for sure until the 9th.
I was so disheartened this morning when I couldn't go to my consult today. I literal got ill from it. I ended up sleeping most of the afternoon, but I didn't turn to food. Now I have resigned myself to it and I am wondering who will be having sleeves then too.

What a bummer! I'm glad you have a date but it would be hard to have things change on you last minute. Best of luck!

It is, but now I can see that basically crap happens all the time. How we handle it has to change now instead of turning to food. Thank you for the support. It's wonderful to have people who also share this journey.

Mine was switched from 4/12/16 to 5/17/17 because my Insurance took so long to approve me. I was upset at first then I realized that I'm still approved and my journey will continue.

      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.
