You are amazing to undertake this by yourself. I am sure it will be a sweet surprise when your husband returns. All the best to you. Take good care of yourself. I love this forum. As the previous poster said, very compassionate and knowledgeable people. Drop in often. Also, many thanks to your husband and to you for serving our country.

Thanks for your support. I had a moment of "what did I do!" breakdown when I came home and he wasn't here to help me (or even just dry my tears and tell me it was gonna be worth it!). I am excited to see his reaction when he comes home later this year. I have 4 months to see what I can do before showing off at his redeployment ceremony. LOL. He has been an amazing support...even from 7000 miles away! I am so glad that I found this forum, it helps to have people who have been there/ or are there that can relate!!!

      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.
