Mind me , but I need to vent.

I'm young, part of VSG in your 20s; I took my final exams on this damn Clear liquids diet, took them all earlier than my classmates, so I had less time to study so I can come home early and have my surgery. It took a lot of mental preparation, and I was so excited as I walked in the hospital doors this morning...as I hand in my papers sitting in the surgery office...my doctor calls and reschedules my surgery...to the 20th. Merry Xmas to me :(

DISCLAIMER

I know its only 5 more days, and I'm still excited, and I'm a firm believer in everything happens for a reason, so I'm taking advantage of this time to truly prepare for the surgery mentally and emotionally...but I just needed to vent :(

Ahem, Thanks for reading

      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.
