Olah? tomorrow is the big day. I get up at 4am and head to San Diego.

I?m signing off for now because I have to occupy myself with non-sleeve related activities to keep my head together.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone. I just joined a few weeks ago and I have to say, those on this forum have been amazing. As you all know, the days and weeks leading up to surgery are filled with anxiety, doubt, and unbridled excitement.

I spent every day on this board, reading peoples experiences and sharing my own. It has been invaluable in helping me manage my anxiety.

I?ll check in later?.. just wanted to say thanks.

Stacey

      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.
