RN here. 33 years. Work for the Feds, so I have another 2 months of nutrition before my date. Good luck tomorrow. Keep us nurses informed! I will say a prayer to St Catherine (patron st of nurses) for you. Positive thoughts your way.

Wow MamaT, 43 lbs is great! When were you sleeved? How long were you off work? Hopefully I'll get a surgery date towards the end of July.

I am an RN with 39 years experience in different areas, mainly ER and Open Heart Surgery. Was sleeved on Feb 9, 2012 and am very glad that I did it. Have lost 59 pounds, and am currently stalled right at 200 lbs. Can't break into that onederland- which is driving me crazy. Anyway, love being a nurse, in spite of all of the hard work and long hours.

      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.
