Hi Everyone

My surgery is this afternoon. I am now getting ready to go to Tijuana.< /p>

My main fear now is that I will regret it or will not be able to maintain a proper diet and will ruin all the efforts. These past 2 days I only think of food and it has been hard not to go on a binge... I really hope that after surgery I will think less about eating b/c right now it is been hard to be on the liquid diet.< /p>

I am avoiding thinking of the surgery and risks. I only pray that by the end of the week I will be home with my kids, alived, sleeved, healthy and happy.

Please pray for me for I have no complications in my surgery.

Thank you all.

It is really amazing the day I got out of surgery the last thing I wanted to do was eat. I know that you would never think this but it is true for the first 6 days you will not want food period..just walk and sip walk and sip. The most important thing after surgery is to keep hydrated and walk to keep the gas moving.. I wish you the best of luck and please keep us posted..

      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.
