Good luck with starting your liquid diet tomorrow! I am not looking forward to that at all! I start mine on the 25th, but I am already doing Breakfast as liquid just to not end up shocked when I have to start the diet. Congrats on leading the way with surgery on March 1st! woo hoo!

3/20! I'm going on a cruise so that's why it was pushed out so far. The closer it gets the more nervous I get!

My surgery date is March 11th, I am nervous about everything. What my recovery time will be as I have 2 year old twin girls. Which is part of the reason, I know I need to make this change for the rest of my life. I just pray to have the Success so many of the others have had!

Nicole, you are getting some help I hope. Could not imagine recovery with 2 yr old twins. I have a 4yr old son & he likes to wrestle, I am so worried he is gonna jump on me after.

We are all on our way now....nervous as can be here as well.

      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.
