Hello friends.....I am leaving for my surgery a week today. My husband and I fly out on Sunday, Nov 8, and my surgery will be done on the 10th. I tried to start the pre-opt diet longer than the recommended 7 days, but alas...did not happen. I officially start tomorrow. I am looking forward to new beginings. I am cannot wait until I can unload this extra person who has been hanging onto me. :)

I will admit I do have my fears...but I would with any surgery...I will rejoice in the benefits to be a healthy person. I know that if I continue my way of life the path I was on...I would have much more to fear.

So my friends thank you all for your stories...and advice...I look forward to sharing my own story. :blush:

      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.
