One week from tomorrow I will be going under, and coming out a different person! I admit, these last two weeks of liquid diet, and sabatoging friends has been a struggle. But I keep coming on here, and reading the wonderful posts and stories, and it keeps me going!! Plus I have the greatest boyfriend who is quitting smoking because I did. He also won't eat at the house so as not to tempt me with the chewy goodness of bad food!!

My sabatoging friends are coming around. I think they realize that I won't "die on the table". They are all just super jealous, and now they are going to have to be the ones to keep up with me!!!

It's amazing, the giving up smoking, diet pop, and the Vitamins they have me on, already make me feel better than I have in years. I can't imagine what I will feel like a few months from now!!!

Look out tummy!! One more week and you will probably be living in some jar on someone's desk!!! Mwah-ha-ha:sneaky2:

Thanks girls!! I actually feel really great!! But I ain't gonna lie....the liquid diet is a killer! But I flavor my plain yogurt with my protien powder, and it's not half bad, but can only have it in moderation! But I did get lucky finding a tasty powder!!! It's pretty pathetic, but I look foward to chewing my Vitamins everyday just for the chewing!!!!! But I would have given in, if not for going back and reading all the threads in here. That and my diet info for after the surgery. Kind of keeps me motivated!!

Coachkk--it gets better after about 3 days. The "starving" sensation does go. I admit, the first day was the biggest struggle. I ate a hoho & a chunk of my daughter's girl cheese because I didn't think I was gonna make it on the broth! But my dr lets me have V-8, and that is definately a life saver!!! Plus, my friends at work say my face already looks thinner!!

I am super excited! It's all I talk about. I'm not ashamed I'm having it done, I want my friends and family to know what I'm going through. That I just couldn't do it on my own, and needed a form of permanent willpower!!!!!

(Now, how do I get my ticker to stay on here???)

Good luck for next week!

Sounds like you have a fab bloke there - after all the years of dieting I think one of the hardest for me is seeing other people eat in front of me....so I can applaud his not eating in front of you, and the comments like 'Go on, one won't hurt'......

I think I shall hole myself up when I get to do my pre op diet!!

      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.
