So i am definitely having my surgery next friday... EEEKKK... :I went in today for my meal planning class and found out i gain a pound.. i was so upset i started crying because i believed this last week and half that i was doing pretty good with what i was eating and i even went to the gym 4x in the past 7 days... SOOO even tho i did not have to do a pre-op diet, i opted to my dietician that i wanted to do it to get these 4lbs i need to get off before the surgey... i think it will also get me ready for the two weeks of full liquids after surgery too.. Tho i think i gain 2lbs because my period finally came back, thank God, i was afraid they was gonna say, "Sorry Koren, but we can't do surgery on a pregnant woman"... that would have been a nightmare... I'm excited and scared now but i have my family members that will be there, even tho some are not that supportive they still understand why i need to have this done...

Congratulations on your surgery date. I'm sure you will do fine. I'm surpised you didn't have to do a preop diet.

When I met with my surgeon I thought it was weird that he really didn't give me a goal for weight loss before the surgery. He told me 5lbs after the nurse mentioned it. I still have to do preop diet one week before the surgery.

Yeah my Dr. was the same way, he didn't even tell me that i had to lose 2% of my body weight before surgery, my Dietician told me that 2 months after seeing him... I was a lil upset but 3lbs isn't that bad... How's your journey going so far? At least you don't have to do a full two week diet.. This Optifast diet so far isnt that bad, everything i have ate so far is pretty darn good, i thought this Tomato Soup was going to be horrible by the way it smelled, but soon as i stuck it in my mouth, my tongue did back flips... lol i think it even tasted better than campbells. Later on for dinner ima see if i get the same reaction with the chicken soup... Good Luck on your Journey to bandland..:)

      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.
