I’m counting also I’ve just completed my pre-op class today it’s all going so fast now 😊

I have my first of 3 appointments starting Thursday. Itll be the one that gets me most the info I need to know I'm sure. I'm still not sure what my preop diet looks like, I know I'm supposed to be buying something called Impact shakes which has me worried. I'm picky about my protien shakes! Lol

I've learned so much today my dietitian gave me a menu of what I have to eat for each meal during my pre-op diet thankfully shakes are not on the menu until after surgery 😆

Well I doubt I'm going to be that lucky! As long as I'm not on full liquid diet for as long as some of these guys say, I've seen some say 30 days! I think I'm 7 or 10 day for sure, hopefully 2 shakes a day and a specific meal. That's kinda close to what I do now.

How long are you taking off work if that applies to you?

      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.
