Hi friends!
I am also getting surgery on 7/28. Yay, we should follow each other's progress since we'll be on the same timeline.
I'm starting liquid diet tomorrow and definitely not looking forward to it.
I hope it gets easier for you! Like PrayingForWeightLoss I am worried about starting this on the weekend. Will have to think of ways to occupy my mind.

I am the 28th too! I hope the weekend went well for you. Last weekend was rough for me too. I spent the whole day thinking about food. I made sure I stayed really active this weekend. I made it all about me.... mani pedi and a 2 hour massage. Got my nails a lovey shade of blue that should match my hospital gown [emoji2]

Hi all.. my op is tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone here cheated on their pre-op diet?
I took a couple of bites of my sister's fish burger yday and another bite of my husband's burger. Now i feel so bad and worried [emoji30]
I did lose about 5 kg for the past week, mostly prob Water weight.

Smart!

Overall it was a success: 5 lbs lost, minimal headache/discomfort, and slept a lot. I event went to my nephew's birthday party and watched my whole family eat pizza right next to me. That was........ torture. But I stayed strong.

Good luck this week and Friday! I followed you so we can keep track of each other :)

All the best for your op! Im 2 days post op and getting discharged this evening. They had to keep reminding me to drink more Water and walk more. Looking forward to a speedy recovery!

I totally love this idea! Im on Aug 3rd tho. (Close enough). Knowing someone else is going through the same thing as i am gives me relief. You are about to have your surgery tomorrow (if the dates are correct). Are you scared? I know I'm a bit afraid and I'm 5 days away.

      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.
