Yesterday, I had all of my pre-op tests done, (EKG, blood, final meeting with surgeon, and one final nutrition class). I was a crabby abby because I made the mistake of only having my Protein shake at Breakfast, forgot to have one for lunch, so when they drained me of all my blood, I was one miserabley cranky girl! Haha

Surgeon ok'd me to have some coffee...so off I went to the nearest Starbucks and got a sugar free, soy latte. Best thing ever! 20 minutes later, I was a much nicer person! Haha

I'm so glad all of this is happenning! Now if Friday could just hurry up and get here! I'm the first surgery of the day, and have to be at the hospital at 6am.

The nerves are sure to set in soon, but so far, so good!

The liquid diet hasn't been that bad, as long as I remember to have my shakes! Haha

Any others in this final phase right now?

      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.
