Thinoneday, you can do this! The holiday season is going to distract you and it will be over before you know it. You're so close to surgery. Think about how great you're going to look next year for the holidays. You definitely can rock this!

You know creatinglee, I have that very same thought in the back of my head every day. . . "just think how i'll look next Christmas" my daughter thinks I'll not have a good Christmas this year, I tell her I will because my family is around me. . .(that includes all of you) . . .Thank you for your comments and yes, I can definitely rock this! I'm just a bit scared I think, I was thinking about asking my doctor if anyone ever chickened out. . . not that i'm going too. . . I've already spendt too much money on this thing (I'm self pay)

I started mine yesterday - it is tough, huh? I have to go and find some more Protein Drinks. THis list seems to be full of suggestions. I am going to try as many as I can pre-op, so that I know the ones I like the best for after the big day. What day is your procedure?

      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.
