Tomorrow is my beginning anew with a fantastic tool to help me on the road to a healthier me. Up at 0400 and the road for 1.5 hours to hospital by 0600AM - prep then surgery at 0800. I am so excited, I can't even sleep. No nerves or second thoughts, just positive karma and a desire to "Git R Done". I have done all the preparing I can, support group in place, house post sleeve proof, journal and extra pens in place-I AM READY TO BEGIN. I know there are a bunch of October 19th ers having surgery tomorrow and I have asked for healing angels for each of you. This is an great day and for the next few months it is all about us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO TEAM!!!!!!!! BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!! SEE YOU ON THE LOSERS BENCH TOMORROW. :-)

      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.
