I started my two week pre op diet yesterday. It’s defiantly challenging. I think what makes it doable for me is that the dietitian gave me a specific diet to follow. Unlimited Protein Shakes and Water with one major meal. So basically a Protein and veggies or legumes. I work better with structure. I got rid of any and all things on my home that would be temping. I informed all my friends to support my journey so they are aware and won’t put temping things in my way. I don’t know what your living situation is but this is what’s working for me so far. My advice would be to take it one day at a time. Failure today success tomorrow. You can do this!!!

Follow it AND keep a food/liquid diary.

You can do that in a book, or Word, or Notepad ... strictly on your own.

Or you can use a place like http://www.myfitnesspal.com where you can track with support.

I'm happy to report that I'm doing much better now! I bought a book on binge eating and I have an accountability buddy. We send pics of our food & the amount of calories we're eating. Thanks again everyone :)

      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.
