Ok you guys....18 days and counting. Looking forward to pre op diet because it will be official then!!! I seem y doc on Monday to go over the pre op test results and I've been stressing about them a bit. I have really been taking care of my "head hunger" and dealing with it...i've been of soda, sugar, bread, walking more and drinking plenty of Water and I'm already down my required 12 lbs...BEFORE PRE OP DIET!!!!!

Funny how much better I already feel. I used to take a nap everyday because I was always so tired but now, I have more energy and don't nap. I wonder if it has anything to do with much fewer carbs???

Monday, I also see my new therapist for the first time. She has worked with bariatric patients before and I want everyone on TEAM MEG I can get....I went to a support group thursday night, talked to many people and got phone numbers...So, are the rest of you all excited??? What's going on with you guys??

Take Care,

Meg:biggrin:

Hi Megg, where are you in FL? I am in Ormond Beach, near Daytona on the east coast. I don't have to do the liquid diet except for 3 days prior to surgery and even than, its full liquid. I am so excited! I'm going to MX for my surgery so my anxiety is the plane trip back home. That is the only part that I would change if I could.

      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.
