First of all, I always come and look at your posts, and you guys are amazing and very supporting! I just decided on on signing up lol...:lol:

So my surgery is set for April 1st, an April fools band lol..

I started my pre-op diet on Monday, and it's ALREADY starting to get to me. My doctor wants me to do 3 Protein shakes a day, with one main meal of 4-6oz of chicken or very lean meat. 2cups of starches, 2cups veggies, endless salad with fat free dressing, but not drenched in the salad. I thinks its 2tsps not sure :sneaky:.....

TodayI went for pre-admission testing and my scedule was totally MESSED UP, I was so mad. So I messed up my diet but let me tell u what i did.

11am-dannon light & fit yogurt lemon ciffon (yummers)

2:30pm I had a handful of carrots, diet green tea snapple which i always drank and love!!!

4:00-5oz chicken, lettuce,light mayo (a tsp,) honey dijon musturd (tsp,) and a half a whole wheat wrap.

That's it so far, but i don't know if because i added the mayo and musturd i added to much fat...:lol:...helllpppp

Okay, Danielle! You can do this!!!! This is the biggest test of your life right now. Can you follow rules?? Of course you can!!

It's hard right now because you still have your big loose stomach and hungry is coming from your head... but you've got to hang in there and buckle down until April 1st. After the surgery, yes, you will still have to follow rules, but it will be easier because your tight new little pouch will become louder than your brain, and you will obey it. ha ha ha ha

Did your doctor say when you were to have your one main meal? Before surgery during my pre-op dieting, I decided that since I'm a morning person, I'd have my big meal in the morning. So if you have the option to choose when, maybe decide what part of the day you feel most hungry and plan that as your meal.

April 1st will be here before you know it... and you will feel so much better the night before surgery knowing that you followed directions. You can do it!! Hang in there and congratulations!

      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.
