WOOO HOOOOOOOO!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I know you will do well! I can't wait to hear about your day- and will be sending good thoughts and wishes your way!

Glad ya got the ticker working... and start taking your measurements so that when the scale doesn't move, you'll see the inches melt off!! Then you won't get discouraged! but you won't have to worry about that for a long time... but I do suggest the measurements.

G'luck and keep us posted!

Wow, you guys time flies.......You all will be glad when its over. The build up is absolute torture! But it really wasnt that bad of an experience at all. Im still trying to figure out everything- like how to get in all my fluids, what my tummy is trying to tell me etc. So its def. a learning experience. Keep us updated on your progress.

      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.
