Cynthia, I finally have a a partner in crime to share my band-day with....

Hey Miss V. It is good to know someone else has the same surgery day. Where are you from? Do you feel ready?

I've had family home all weekend, and I did fairly well until they wanted me to make caramel popcorn. I LOVE caramel and I succumbed to a few pieces of the lucious smooth caramel that was left over from the popcorn. I always make too much and if I were to pour all of it on the popcorn, it would get soggy. So we have a plate of caramels that I just can't avoid. But then again, I haven't officially started the pre-op. Still have another week before it starts. So I could look at it this way--this is the last time I will enjoy those silky smooth delicacies and I deserved to eat it one last time. Man I've gotta change that attitude! I really am looking forward to the big day and I will be good. I have to. I want to feel better.

      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.
