I am in the single digits now! 9 days until my surgery!!! I am excited nervous and scared. I have cancelled 2 outings because I will be on the liquid diet and unsure how I would handle those situations! I am SO ready for this next phase of my life. I feel like I have a very bright future and my little 9 month old will one day say, who is that lady holding me?? Oh mommy that is you?? LOL!!!

I am SO glad I found this forum with such wonderful people!

Lynda - good luck, I'm seeing a surgeon today for my first consult so its exciting times. I am also worried about the pre op liquid diet as our life is sometimes hectic on the social front so timing for me will be something to fit in as well, but if I could I'd have it done tomorrow!!

Kabranda - good luck for your op....I'm feeling apprehensive for you already!!

Congrats! I am 11 days out and growing more nervous by the day. I am starting to have trouble sleeping with the anticipation of the surgery and preparing everyone at work for my time off. Things are so hectic!

      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.
