I went for my consultation with Dr Nick today. It was great. I am now scheduled for Monday Feb 22nd. I can not wait, I did not think this day would come.

I went to the monthly support meeting last night and my husband went with me. He is not much on socializing. So this was big. He was really impressed and thought it was great.

He has always been supportive but now it is different. He was never into details of any of this. But now he is asking questions is behind me 100%.

I knew he would take a couple of days off when I have my surgery, since my mother would be here to help and my daughters would be around also. But now he says he is taking the week off to be there for me. This means so much to me.

So I get one more day then I start the pre op diet. He wants to take me out for Valentines tomorrow, he sent me flowers today. This is so rare.

Loving every bit of it.

Now all I have to do is break it to my boss tomorrow. But at least I can work from home after a few days.

I am so excited. :thumbup:

      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.
