Hello~

I start my pre op diet tomorrow and am getting really nervous about my surgery. Tonight we went to my mother in laws for my birthday dinner and I went all out. I ate like I was never going to eat again. I had a humbling moment on the way home with my gut stuffed I could hardly move. I am getting this surgery because I eat like that very often. I said good bye to it tonight. I wont miss it and I wont miss this feeling....uncomfortable, food up to my throat and just disgusted with myself. Looking forward to 3 days of liquids!! Happy birthday with liquids and laxatives....ugh.

Don't think of it as a last meal. You'll get to enjoy many foods you love again, once you're through the healing process. It's great to not get that overstuffed, awful feeling!

I did the same thing last weekend. Although I didnt regret it because it was sooooo good. On to better and healthier things now!!! I hope you do better on your pre-op diet than I did on mine. At least yours is only three days...

I did the same thing! My last meal was a loaded baked potato with brisket and a side of stuffed jalapenos. I enjoyed every minute of it. But it's funny, now that I can eat anything (one year post op) I haven't yet revisited many of my old favorites. I still get hungry but my appetite is "under control". And when I splurge it doesn't take much to satisfy the craving. Pre op was definitely the most difficult part of the process for me. Good luck to you! Stay strong!

My last meal will be some awesome chicken enchiladas, with chips and homemade salsa, and TONS of margaritas! Hopefully my baker friend will also make some sweet treats :)

I'm still in the pre op blues! LOL,,, DAY 12 of hell... JK ;) I'm so weak and hungry right now. Surgery on Monday and I just pray it is easier after. I still don't understand why some pre ops are 3 days and some a week, then two and even more. <_<

And my Dr. In VA doesnt require any pre op diet. Im sure most people wish there was an industry standard!

      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.
