And since t want maximum good results fo rmy surgery, more " bang for my,buck"if you will, I have commited myself to 4 weeks meticulously following the prediet OSU feels is proper for a " female weighing under 400 pounds". although when I see myself or think about how much I still weigh it is scary at my age. If it had been. hand-written I might have thought,I a non- subtle dig at my poundage, but no, it is nicely printed so there must be other " portly princesses" doing,exactly,this diet. Since I don't know them, have their phone numbers or e-mail addresses, when I get sad, mad, frustrated , ready to give up, you, my bari- friends will be the first to hear about IT. Oh it WILL be a long hard road, a true Dietary Purgatory, and like the Purgatory of Theological History, it is going take a lot of praying and indulgences granted before I Am,Set Free! Nobody ever said this would be all " giggles and laughs" but it is my, best chance to shrink, an NASH liver into sleek smooth sleek submission, make my surgery smoother, easier and quicker to heal from. And if Dr,Needleman is feeling kind about finding a liver like a 20 year old awaiting instead of a Hepatic Blubberpile, doesn't have to,use Industrial sized detractors to move it out of his way, he just could see fit to give me an Turkey-sized. instead of a pullet egg- sized pouch for my RnY. And I will heal so smooth, so fine that I will have be insrived in the "Annuals of. Bariatric-dom" as Ms Total Perfection! So tomorrow I plan to March into THAT DIET will all the bravery I can summon. As the late Bette Davis once was quoted " Hang on, it's going to be a BUMPY RIDE!"😥💦😥🙏🌈

      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.
