Welcome, 5! So glad you are here! How is the pre-op diet going? All liquids, or does your doc allow some food? You hanging in there? I've heard day 3 is the worst.

I'm on day 8 of my pre-op diet now. It's a combination of medi-fast and liquids. I'm hanging in there, but I've had some VERY difficult days. I'm losing weight which helps make this easier to deal with, but the surgery can't come fast enough.

Looks like you are about two weeks behind me! Good luck on your surgery!!!

I wasn't nervous at all until I tried to go to sleep last night. That's when it hit me. I'm all set and ready to go now. Just waiting for 7:15 to roll around so I can hit the road! I'll still be early, but I'm excited!!! I'll post as soon as I can afterwards! Thanks for the well wishes!

I'm back home from being sleeved yesterday. As expected, they fixed the hernia I had. I'm still pretty sore and very sluggish. Having trouble getting my liquids down today as I'm experiencing the slime! No fun. Will try to figure it out tomorrow.

Good luck to those coming up behind me in the process.

      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.
