I cant believe its finally here! :cheer2: The wait is over. well....sorta. In 20 hours I will be getting registered at Methodist Hospital in Peoria IL. Changing my life. I am a wealth of different emotions today. I dropped my son off with family today and knowing it would be 4 days before I saw him again, i cried like a little sissy. Happy and sad. and the weather here is supposed to be bad so my best friend (who has the sleeve) and I are leaving town early and staying the night there so we are on sight early in the morning and don't have to deal with the snow. yuck! but let is snow now...cuz this summer...things are gonna be different! wish me luck all! and i will let you know how the adventure goes!

      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.
