My surgery is Jan 16, I just got all the dates for my cardiologist, pulmonologist, type and cross and anesthesiology and of course the appt with the hospital for the up front copay! I feel a little surreal, I've been waiting so long and now it feels like it will be time and I won't be ready. Just decided to start ahead on the pre op diet so I have a little room to get used to it before it is critical, no enlarged liver for me to have them back out at the last minute, right? I'm down 9 lbs in just a week so I'm psyched. Yea, for us jan sleavers, Happy new year to all and to our new lives!

what a great birthday gift you will have! you will be able to do it--good luck, we all have such exciting times ahead of us--change can make us freak a little but its gonna be the best thing we have ever done for ourselves, for once in my life I am putting my needs first, and I don't mean to sound selfish, but I think we all deserve it and I know my family deserves a more participatory wife and mom. Can ya tell I'm ramping up for this?? Can't wait....

      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.
