:lol:Hi Larenshine

What does your pre op diet consist of and why does your doctor want to put you on one. I just saw my doctor and he said I didn't need to just the 24 hours fasting .

thanks,

Hi Alicia,

I think it's fairly common in order to shrink the fat around the liver. I have to have 3 Protein Drinks a day, and then one healthy meal. Since my BMI isn't too high, I don't have to do it for quite as long. I'm SO ready for surgery day to get here. How bout you?:(

Nothing to worry about on the redness. Mine was too for a few days. My doctor (Dr Jay, Dallas,Texas) said to put neosporin on it to get the redness out incase of infection. Might want to check with your doctor. You are starting at where I was on April 24th, 2008. I am now weighing 185 in less than 3 months. Not bad. I had a problem after my 2nd fill and had to get some taken out. Couldn't eat anything. Doing better now. Good luck.

      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.
