Yep, I'm starting to get a bit nervous. Tomorrow is the day that I have to take the kids to their grandma, then my husband and I fly out in the evening. I had the hardest time trying to find clothes to wear for after the surgery. I didn't want anything that would rub or be too tight on the incisions. I usually wear denim shorts, so I wound up having to pack church clothes! Oh well, at least I'll look good for souvenir hunting and the flight home. I've been eating lots of yogurt and chicken broth. Seems weird, but oatmeal is actually on my pre-op diet. I never would have thought it, but I actually got full eating chicken broth, broccoli cheese Soup and yogurt. I could only eat half of it. My husband said that we're wasting our money on the surgery if eating liquids makes me full!!

Tomorrow will be a long day for me! I'm very excited and just want it to be Friday morning already. I know I won't be sleeping at all tomorrow night! I have class for 4 hours tomorrow night...so hopefully that will keep my mind occupied! Good luck Pepper!

Just settled into the hotel in San Diego. Leave for the hospital tomorrow morning. So far, no nerves, yeah! But, man am I hungry!! Because we came from Atlanta all I've had to eat today is one yogurt, and lots of Water and apple juice. I'm looking forward to not being hungry for a while :rolleyes:

      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.
