8 more days and counting... I have my last weigh in this thursday and should get a phone call the day before surgery letting me know what time to be at the hospital for Wednesday the 25th.

I have been through surgery before and know what to expect as far as the iv and anesthesia, but like any sugery I am still nervous and anxious.

How is everyone else doing so far?

2 weeks out today, So now I get to eat some real food. Mushy food....but real food. After a month of liquids I had scrambled eggs this morning and they tasted awesome.

LOL, ohh I know I am going to feel the same way. Is amazing how good food taste to us once we really don't eat it, or eat as much of it. I mean I eat tuna fish all the time, but let me tell you now a days that bad boy is tasting like lobster tails. hahahahaha

      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.
