Editing, is a real challenge here!!!

Welcome to LBT!!! Glad you come out of lurker mode!

Congrats on your surgery date--it will be here before you know it! Get all your things together, so you can take it easy for a few days when you get home. Have some liquid Protein items on hand, liquid Tylenol--heating pad---and your slippers---you will want to do lots of walking!

Hang out, so your last minute nerves can be reassured for you---most of us got them!

I look forward to hearing how it goes for you!!

Welcome!

Kat

Congrats on the date, I am December 31. My doctor requires 1000 calories a day, 35g fat, 55g Protein, liquid diet. Try the Slim fast cans, 10g protein, 140 calories. You can mix those in everyday. I start the liquid on December 17, my doc calls for two weeks.

:clap2:Congratulations Jalee. I just found out this week that my insurance approved the surgery. I go for pre-op next week and dr. visit. I start my liquid diet after that. I don't have a date yet but should know next week. I bought the GNC mix berry Protein, why drink. It's not bad. I have been trying to get used to it. I like it with ice in it. I hope that's ok. I look each time I shop for something I think I can have on the pre-op diet. Good luck to you. Felicia

for my pre-op diet, I drank Glucerna (due to diabetes) and to tell you the truth, it was pretty good. I've used both the chocolate and the Butter Pecan. The butter pecan actually tastes like ice cream.

      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.
