Looking forward to the pre diet as well as getting the band. Sounds silly but biggest worry is being constipated...crazy, huh?

costco sells Gummy Fiber...it is a help to me and makes me think I am getting a treat. I also use the gummy vitiams!

Hi,

Wow seeing my name on the list makes it so real. I am having these bursts of nervous energy, worked in the yard all day yesterday and have been cleaning the house like crazy. I want this house clean and the laundry all done so when I get home I won't have to worry about a thing.

I loved woodslass's idea of using baby forks and spoons, I am going to hunt down my childrens in the silverware box.

      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.
