Way to go Stacie! I am also sleeving Monday' date=' 4/23 at 11am in Charlotte, NC. Here is a tip: Isopure drinks from GNC work well in Jello, just use it in lieu of the cup of cold water.....mix and match the flavors to add Protein to jello for that first week, could also use Gatorade 3 which has protein ;)[/quote']

That's a great idea! I don't know if I can find a gnc today. Hmmm. I'm on all Clear Liquids today and starving. We are out at the zoo and of course they have no jello or broth. LOL. My parents really have me second guessing the surgery. They are fully against this and think I'm being irresponsible by taking such an "unnecessary" risk. I'm really in a bad place at the moment.

April 24 here, I'm excited and just a wee bit nervous. I just weighed myself, WOW Ive lost 16 pounds!! I reached my pre op goal of being 210!!

Now anything else until Tuesday is just a bonus!

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I thought for sure I would faint from lack of food at work, but I hung in there. On a few days while working, I only had time to drink one shake and sip some water!! I'm a charge nurse and have been very short staffed, so short in fact, my boss, the DON asked me a week before my LOA if I could postpone my surgery!! I was like is this a late April fool's joke, cause it ain't funnyI said, uh no sorry Im leaving see you in 3 weeks! Sheesh, I just pray all is well for them, but now, it's my time to take care of me!

I am getting excited!!! I am scheduled tomorrow at 3:30 pm. The pre-op diet is going well. I am having a hard time getting in all 40 grams of Protein. I am just not that hungry. I am nervous about tomorrow though. No Water or anything after 8 am. I live on water. I wish every luck that is scheduled for the rest of the month.

I know we can do it!! It is a tool to help us with the rest of our lives :D

I'm scheduled for 10 tomorrow and am surprised how calm I am. Last week I was in a panic; this week cool and calm. Best of luck to all of you. We will be just fine. It will be interesting to share our experiences after the fact.

Good luck to everyone. My mom just got here and said that I need to change my mind and that I have not really thought this through. The last thing I need tonight (hospital at 530) is this stress, worry, and negativity. I'm so stressed.

      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.
