I wish I was excited as those exclamation points, but alas, I'm not. Today is freaking rough. Surgery is on Monday so I came up yesterday to Jacksonville and I'm staying at my parents' house. And they're having a BBQ.

Awesome.

Luckily, I can eat meat and veggies during my 2 week pre-op diet, but not so lucky that they have slathered everything in BBQ Sauce (15g of sugar, no bueno) and there is fruit and bread EVERYWHERE (also, no bueno). So now I'm sitting my room, mad as hell.

Oh, and for those of you that don't know, my father still doesn't know I'm having surgery. My mother's brilliant idea is to tell him tomorrow night before we go to bed so that we don't have to try and sneak out of the house Monday morning. I'm not too sure how that will go down, but I do know that I will be sleeping with my car keys, just in case.

I'll let yall know how things go tomorrow. I'm just ready to do this already!

Good luck to you on Monday! My surgery is at 12:30pm Pacific time. Wish it were earlier but that's ok. I just want to get it down and start the recovery. I'm going in expecting the worst for the first few days so that I am not shocked. . .LOL! It's been an interesting few weeks as I have been trying to mentally prepare myself that I should eat to live, not live to eat. What a novel concept, huh?

      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.
