Hello everyone. My surgery date is October 31st which is Halloween, anyways I have three girls ages 6, 5, 1. Last night my oldest kids were saying how excited they were to dress up for Halloween and asked what I wanted to be on that day. Well I told them mommy won't be able to go because she has to get her tummy fixed at the hospital. They hugged me and said it's not going to be the same without me and to wait until after Halloweensad.gif

They then asked me what's wrong with my tummy and started to cry so I had to explain that I'm doing it so I can be the best mommy for them and be healthy so I can run around and play with them without getting tired really fast. My 5 year old then said "are they going to make you fly and jump really high too laugh.gif and she was a tad bit disappointed when I told her no.

I feel really bad for missing out.

      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.
