I think rather than "quick" it was "last minute". I started down this path in Feb.

I didn't know I could hold my breath this long!!!! Thank you for the good wishes.

Valentina

I'm excited and freaked at the same time. At this point the 6th can't get here fast enough so I don't have to drink these sweet drinks for awhile. I love something sour.

I'm down about 4-5 pounds. :cheer2:

I will be in NYC on the day of your surgery . I am taking my daughter and her family to "see the dinosaurs". My three year old grandson is crazy about them, so before I get into that "tired" stage after surgery, I am taking them on my daughter's birthday.

:car:

I will think of you ofter during the day, I am sure. I'll be with you--only a whisper away.:amen:

Good luck staying on the pre-op this weekend. You didn't come this far to blow it now!:boxing:

      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.
