HI Jenni

You'll find loads of hints and tips on here from all the sleevers.

I'm being done on the 10th June, and have started to eat cleaner, having been on Weightwatchers since November.

I've cleared out my cupboards and have started to prep for post op with some Soups already... keeps me occupied.

I've also cleared out my big clothes to friends and charity, and am trying to get as fit as I can for the surgery.

Good luck with yours - let us know how you get on.

Kathy

Hey Jenni, welcome and congrats on getting your date set.

Start eating smaller portions now, sit your utensil down in between bites, don't eat and drink at the same time(this is typically the hardest habit to break). That's the little things that will help post-op.

Mentally, prepare yourself that a lot of stuff is about to change. There may be some tough days, but the good days outweigh the bad. Go in with a positive attitude, and stay focused. Follow your surgeon/nutritionist's dietary guideline and post-op diet. Yes, post-op diets suck severely, but they are in place for several reasons.

Best wishes, and know we're here to support you through this amazing journey.

      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.
