I have not cheated at all.. This is day 4 of pre-op diet, I have done Awsome. BUT im depress today very emotional. Is this normal? I have to fast tomorrow night cause I have lab work on Monday.. I know I can do this but it's getting harder and harder for me as the days go bye. I need kind words.

My hubby is deployed and this is going to be a surprise to him. So I can't talk to him. My kids are my rock but they are kids and all three are doing sports and is very fit. just need some reassurance.

How about making smaller goals. Instead of thinking you cannot make it another day. How about set the goal of making it to the evening. Then set the next small goal to achieve. Breaking it down will make it seem more manageable.

I am not sure about how you are feeling as I have not made it to my surgery or even pre-op. I can say that just know in your heart that you have made it 4 days what a great accomplishment. Think of how it is only 1 more day and then you will be doing your labs.

You can always come here for help with any issue, even one of just needing an emotional boost.

Keep up the great work and keep us posted on your progress.

Lily

I am a military wife too! I can't imagine doing this with out my hubby to talk to though! He will be so exicted to see you when he returns and you are gonna blow him away.

I am three weeks away from surgery and I have been kind of moody. I find myself having a hard time falling asleep which hasnt been a problem since I have three kids and am usually exhausted by the time I get to bed each night. I lay awake thinking about the things that will change and things I know about the surgery and the things I need to ask the surgeon.

I just have to keep reminding my self that I am doing this so that I can live a long healthy life and enjoy every minute I have with my family. I am doing this so my children will have a role model to follow to be healthy eaters. Then they will have a good chance of being able to stay away from weight issues in their future. If you ever need to chat with someone please feel free to send me a private message and I will chat. I am a stay at home mom on the west coast so I am home a lot of the day.

Are you having this done at a Military facility?

I will say a little pray every thing goes well for you on the 18th.

      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.
