I'm on day 7 of my pre-op diet. It's not liquid (unless you count the 64 ounces of Water - I'm moving my office to the bathroom), but still not easy.

The rumbling tummy has calmed down, but the cravings are strong with this one. I find myself questioning how perfect I need to be. I need to find a way to get beyond that, and I'm not sure how.

Gotcha alabamagirl1975!

I'm going to start high protein/low carb October 8th when I get back from vacation although my doctor's office only requires it a week prior to surgery. I don't want to be hungry! :cursing:

I take the broth off of the Soup and give the rest to my dog! I make sure that I get the 30g of Protein in, either with the shakes or K2O protein Water. I also heat up Tomato juice and add pepper for taste, which helps! I have 5 days of liquid diet left until surgery then another 2 weeks of liquids. I don't think I'll mind the liquids so much after surgery!

I'm getting the "realize." I also just got back from my pre-op meeting with my surgeon and final meeting with the nutritionist. I have to be at the hospital next Tuesday morning at 6:00 for the surgery.

Do all of you have scales at home? How often do you weigh yourselves?

I have avoided scales like the plague for years - judging my weight by my dress size. I'm thinking maybe it's time for me to actually buy one.

Hi goosefraba - I liked your comment about being on your way to being a different person. You will be able to start over; I think of it as a REBIRTHday! Good luck to you; I'll be thinking of you on the 8th.

I have a scale, but it is not my friend! I am hoping that in the future it will be!!

I think I am going to go with the Realize band ~ I really like the design and the support program it comes with.

      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.
