Wow, 30 days!! I am on a 2 week Protein diet (3 shakes, 2 bars, certain veggies)...am on day 10 today and it's really hit me how tired I am. I think the pre op diet is key in that it helps us mentally and physically prepare for limited food intake. By the time we have our surgery and are "forced" to limit our food, we'll be pros!!

In other news...August 6th is right around the corner!! My anxiety level gets a little higher every day. Today someone brought in a box of donuts and I have to admit, it was REALLY difficult not to dive head first and inhale.

Yeah for us August sleevers!! We are gonna be HAWT come next summer!! :D

I feel your pain!!! Being at work when they bring "real" food in, is a KILLER!!! Yep, 30 days, trying to decrease the size of my liver! Will have been on it for 2 weeks come Monday....then only 2 more weeks to go!!! Surgery is on the 22nd of Aug. GO ME!!! I will not cheat!!! LOL I have to look at the big picture!!

Ready for the NEW ME!!!

My date is august 25th in fountain valley

Hi Krystal24...I work in Fountain Valley!! I'm guessing you will be over at OC Memorial. How exciting. My date is coming up super quick...this Monday the 6th. Oddly, the surgeons I go to in Newport Beach choose to work out of Tri City in Hawaiian Gardens. Go figure. But I can't complain because that is much closer to home for me (I live in Signal Hill).

2 more days left of the Protein diet, then Sunday is all "clear" liquid day, then Monday is the day! Whoo hooo!!!

On Day #11...and there are brownies in the break room. AND I'm starving!! The hardest part over the past 2 weeks has been trying to maintain my workout routine while consuming less than 1000 calories a day. It's crazy. I have found that my mental state has become WAY more taxed. But I just need to make it through the weekend. Monday is surgery day and I'm ready for it to be here!!

Just got the call from the hospital. My check in time is at 6am this Monday!! I knew my day would be 8/6, but wasn't sure if they would take me in the morning or afternoon. Can I tell you how relieved I am that it will be in the AM!!! It will make the day before a little less painful with having to be on only Clear liquids. I will for sure savor every last drop of my last Protein shake Saturday night. :lol:

I only stay the one night in the hospital. Will hopefully be home and recuperating in my own bed by Tuesday afternoon.

In other news, I hopped on the scale and it looks like of the 20 lbs I gained over the past 3 months, I lost 15 of them, which makes me appreciate the pre op diet that much more.

So excited!! :P

      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.
