Just wondering how you guys got thru this part.im on day 2 and im starving!surgery is april 6th.having buyers remorse and havent even had surgey yet.my emotions are all over the map.

I am on Day 4 going on Day 5 of my two week liquid diet. Surgery is April 22. I chew SF gum furiously to help me get through the bad times. I was weighed on Tues at 349 and on Friday I was 345. It's probably a few pounds less now. I just have to pee so much!! I don't mind the Protein drinks as I am never hungry. I wasn't ever hungry before surgery and I lost the ability to tell when I was full until I was overfull. I think all my hunger has been head hunger and craving to eat certain things (bad things of course). I think I'm eating too many SF popsicles a day though. I think I had 10 today. Gonna have to check with the surgery center again. Also not sure if almond milk with shake is ok; the diet in the binder said 8 oz skim milk. I love almond milk however. Good luck all!

I have been using unsweetened almond milk, throwing some cinnamon in for taste. My dr was ok with both. However, I think he is testing my will power because I am limited to 3-5 shakes a day depending on base and additives. Oh and water. Yes peeing every 4 minutes is a pain. I can't wait as tomorrow is my last day on shakes. Tuesday is a clear diet and Wednesday morning is surgery!!! Omg!!! Its finally here!!

My husband got skim milk today which is in the binder to use with shakes. The Bariatric Advantage really is tasty! He took back all the blue bell sf popsicles due to a recall for bluebell and I just wasn't comfortable even though the popsicles weren't recalled. We got Popsicles brand but I'm wondering if it's not raising my blood sugar that or the Protein shakes or both. My sugar just now was 196 and it was 103 last night and 129 this morning after eating nothing. It will be truly spectacular if I can get off the insulin after the surgery. I'm hoping. Good luck to those of you with surgery tomorrow!! I'm 9 days away omg

Talk to your dr about your blood sugar. I know mine said if you had diabetes there was something else to do as an alternative. I am on bariatric advantage as well, but not crazy about the sweetness. I'd prefer savory taste.

Actually my surgery is on the 22nd! I've only lost 4 pounds in the 6 day liquid diet so far but I feel less bloated! Maybe it's the popsicles I don't know but the nutritionist said I could have as many as I wanted. I double checked to make sure! LOL. Good Luck everyone! Today has been REALLY REALLY tough. I'm cranky and irritated really easily because I want to eat. It's not that I'm hungry just the smell of food from outside and my husband cooking himself something is like teasing me! One week to go.

I have exams starting May 4th and My preop diet starts May 6th, I am thinking of starting a day or two earlier so I don't go through with withdrawals while trying to study! That would be the worst!
