Best if Luck to you my surgery was going to be on 9/4, but I had to reschedule cause I came down with a sinus infection and Bronchitus the day I started the liquid diet....not nice! I was on so many meds I decided to push it to 9/18. Hope all goes well!!

Alex, good luck tomorrow! My surgery is on Thursday and I know how you feel about being excited, but really nervous too. I know that's normal. We just have to remind ourselves that we've done our research and made an informed decision and this is the beginning of an exciting, healthy new life. We can do it!

Thanks so much everyone! Surgery went good. I have to stay overnight :( which I was not expecting. And I'm in a lot of pain but hopefully that gets better soon! Thanks again.

Hi Alex, let your doc and staff take care of you. Hopefully, you will get home today.

I see you are another Alabama girl. I am from Jacksonville. Where are you from?

Alex,

From one young bandster to another (or so it appears!) congratulations on making the leap! I had my surgery in April and it was hands down the best decision I ever made for myself! Follow the rules and take each day as it comes and you will do great! It's already changed my life and I am so grateful! Best of luck!

      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.
