I will be on the other side tomorrow afternoon. I am super nervous and kind of feeling sick from only having liquids today. However, I am excited and I know this is going to be the best thing I ever did. Everyone wish me luck!

Heartonmysleeve,

Mine is tomorrow too. I have made the decision to not worry about what MIGHT happen. I hope that you can come to that place too. I'm excited, joyful and thankful that I have this opportunity. Remember back when we were still trying to get approval for this, and how strong the desire was at that time? And if you ARE using insurance to pay for it....remember how joyful and excited you were when you got that phone call that you were approved?

So many are trapped and burdened by weight...I listen to my girlfriends talk about diets, food issues etc. just like I used to talk, only now I silently think, "Thank YOU, Lord, for finally being released from all that wasted time."

We actually started being 'new' when we started our preop diets. So, I just hope that you can relax and enjoy this journey that begins for us tomorrow.

Good thoughts being sent your way.....:cursing:

      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.
