There is also Peaches and Cream and banana and Cream. The strawberry and Cream I do not like so much. The Oreo and Cream is DELICIOUS!

My program said that days 3 and 4 of the pre-op diet would be the most difficult, but today (day 5) was definitely more difficult. I am feeling tired and dragging and have a headache for the first time since I started (I rarely have headaches.). I hope the tiredness improves. Solidarity with everyone doing this!

Some headaches could be from lack of caffeine (if you were a regular coffee drinker pre-diet), or from MSG or Aspartame in Meal Replacements if you are sensitive to them (like I am). I'm about to put up a post for other Aussies looking for palatable options that don't have MSG/Aspartame/Acasulphemate K in them , as our options here are different to those over in the US.

Hang in there folks, not long till surgery and the birth of our "new and improved" tummies :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
