:whoo:HAPPY 1 YEAR TO MRS. YODA:whoo:

Today is exactly one year since she got her band...

As Samuel Johnson said "Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings." Mrs. Yada must have self-confidence to spare because her great undertaking has not only changed her life, but mine as well. That is one of the many reasons I love her so. :love:

It is a salem occation today as it is the final day of people food for me :) ! I must start the Pre op diet as of tomorrow.:violin:

I have had pretty much all the foods I like in the last 3 days. I had a lunch at eastside marios, I had fish and chips at a local Joeys, H&D rocky road ice cream, m&ms, and a nice Peanut Butter sandwich. :high5:

Tomorrow I feast on Yogurt and Cottage cheese (bacteria filled milk and it's by-products) for the next ten days!:faint:

This also means that in 10 days I will be turned to the banded side. I may have to change my name to something like "Darth Bandito" :bandit or "Chewawacca" :hungry: or "Luke soothimaker" or how about "Band Solo" :)

Knaw... I'll just stick with Mr. Yoda...

3 more sleeps till the M rs :clap2: is back!!!

Oh my good Gravy!!!

I had my first day of ten, pre-op diet and it is going to be SO hard! :faint:

I litterally had to tell myself every minute or so that I cannot have everything!

And of course everything was much more appealing with the whole forbidden fruit aspect...

But I will persevere with all the will power I can muster...

After all I am not a JEDI master by chance.

Mr. Yoda,

With 9 Y&CC days under my belt, I can tell you that it DOES get easier. What I did was weigh myself everyday and the first couple of days I kep losing 3 lbs a day - so that helps to motivate.

Also, think of the consequences of not doing the diet - the chance that they might delay or cancel your surgery. I know you don't want that.

You can do it!!!

How many more sleeps?

Hey MR Yoda, my operation is at TLBC on May 4th at noon, you are at 2pm...pretty close, I'd say we're in the same boat. Couldn't really be any closer. Yup, i feel you for the pre-op, but i don't find it that bad yet...hopefully by day 3-4 it gets easier.

      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.
