Thanks. I was planning on doing it in may, but the doc said he had a slot on the 8th. Otherwise it was going to be mid-may. I just have to start my pre-op today. I thought I would have more time to mentally prepare. Maybe it is a blessing to just have to start today, I was kinda spending to much time thinking of farewell meals. Let's do it.

ha ha. I hear you on that one. I booked my surgery on March 18th and had to start the Slimtime pre-op shakes on the 22nd. Gave me little to no time for a food funeral. I think that may be a good thing! I am impatient so the sooner, the better for me. Keep us posted!!

      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.
