MJM- try mixing your flavored Protein with plain or vanilla yogurt. Also, try freezing them then eat them like a slushie!

Cutie Miss- I went through this on my 2 week preop diet. You are not physically hungry, you are head hungry. When this happened to me I just decided to ignore my brain. Your brain is a food addict and it is despartaly trying to get you to feed the addiction. Beat it, don't give in. I honestly think my 2 week preop diet had little to do with shinking my liver and a whole lot to do with me breaking up with food.

How is everyone doing? I had sugery at noon. Slept most of the day, so now I'm wide awake. All these wires and tubes ate driving me nuts. So far, so good! Hope everyone else is doing great!

I do love the nectar Fuzzy Navel.

I also regularly drink:

Matrix Cookies and Cream

Unjury chicken Soup

Nectar Cherry

Body Fortrus chocolate

That sucks! All that work on your pre op diet and it could be postponed... I'm sorry. How dud you find out? What does low blood mean?

Radio silence, huh? Everyone doing ok?

The weight loss center that I am going through has their stuff together, I mean they plan EVERY last detail out and make their patients overly aware of everything. I am aware that I will need to be on a bariatric daily Multivitamin for the test of my life. All other nutritional needs should be meet by the food I consume, but yearly blood work is required.

I see it like this, I obsess over food now anyway- what am I you g to ear, when, where, how much, I plan vacations and weekends around all the good places I can pig out. So now I'll just trade my obsession in for a new one. I can sit here and worry all day about all the complications and long term effects of the sleeve or I can sit worry about when my first heartattack will be or how old my kids will be when I die or never being able to get on a rollercoaster with my son.

Worry about the sleeve, you know your brain is going to go there anyway. But also be extremly proud of yourself for taking control of your future.

I'm on day day 6 of 14 on the pre op diet and I thought about how final my decision is and had thoughts about not going through with it, I honestly think it was my fat girl brain crying out for one last chance. My gat girl brain lies..... a lot. I'm not listening to her anymore.

You can do this!

I think you will do fine on the diet for a week. The first three days were hard, then my hungry brain just have up. At this point I'm not even eating everything I should, it doesn't sound appetizing...

No, not without food totally. Just nothing good. shakes, veggies, oatmeal, applesauce..... I find myself day dreaming about boiled chicken breasts or oven baked fish.....

I'm on the 13th too! Not meeting with the surgeon until the 9th. I am on day 4 of my 2 week pre op diet. Not a fan....

I am on day 3 of my 2 week pre op diet. I need help figuring out how I can combine items on my "able to eat list". So here it is.

4 protien shakes- 2 milk, 2 Water

V8

Applesauce

Yogurt

pudding

oatmeal

All the non-starchy raw or steamed veggies I want.

Then all clear, sugar and caffine free liquids.

Any kitchen magicians out there that can suggest different combinations or cooking methods that could get me through to my surgury date?

Any help would be appreciated, I am close to a breaking point.
