I can't believe my surgery date is less than a week away - June 27th, here I come!

I haven't posted much but I have read a ton and learned even more...this is been a huge help in my journey.

I have been on my diet for a few days and I noticed that crystal light has caffiene in it, is it okay to drink? My pre op diet states no caffiene or carbonation.

I can not wait to be on the losing bench and I am already looking at the 2 lbs I have lost as 2 lbs I will never see again. I can't wait to get to know more of you better as I am not feeling a ton of support from my family and friends and know this is a community that will do that.

Thanks!

How exciting for you! I am in the process of getting to a surgery date. Have done psych tests, nutritionist, physical and now my next appt 7/12/11 to see how it has come together to get a surgery date. I was totally appauled and mortified today when I went in to the office they weighed me and showed me my actual BMI of 40.2 and my fat % was 49, my fat mass was 126. I wanted to sit there and cry!!!! It was all I could do to hold the tears back. It just totally reinforces this decision to pursue. I wish you the very best of luck and look forward to hearing about your success!

      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.
