Thank you all for the well wishes! My surgery is scheduled bright and early. 0530 in the morning at the hospital. I'm ready to go! The two week preop diet has been doing its job. I've lost 17lbs, but I know it's not a sustainable diet. Thanks for the advice Rgreen. I'll make sure to pack those things. I'll get back to you all as soon as I can to let you know how it went and is going. Bigtex, good luck to you! Thanks to you all for the support, it's really appreciated. :)

I just found where I can search for people on the iPad. Sometimes I don't look in the most logical places...like the button that says "search". Lol!

Way to go resisting it! It's hard but just trying to retrain my thinking towards food. I have been on my preop diet for 6 days and have slipped a bit but still remained under 1200 calories. On the scales this am and have lost a total of 7.6 pounds since Monday. Having a hard time not getting on that stupid scale every morning. Anyone else?

Same here. I keep checking scale but not sure mine is correct so looking forward to dr visit. Keep up the great work

      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.
