Yes. I'm wondering how that will work.

The diets are pretty hard, I have found many posts in the preop diet section on tips and things that others have used! Hopefully you can find something there that can help! I've also found that sugar free gum has helped me with head hunger and the desire to chew! :)

My approval came today! I'm waiting to get my final directions from my doctor. Mixed feelings and I don't know why.

I had the same mixed feelings issues until today, my pre-op day. Good luck and I am so happy for you. Congrats.

You'll do great on Wednesday!! I had some pain when I woke up but it was like period cramps... Just in the wrong place and they took care of it like immediately. At he same time I felt a bit nauseous but that went away RIGHT away. I definitely went very light with the liquid diet yesterday.... Just 24 oz Protein Shake from 7a to 6p and did Water in between. I didn't plan that I was just too nervous to put anything in my mouth! Maybe that helped?

You will do so great! Just do a lot of smiling and try to laugh while you are waiting for surgery! I was so nervous I cried on and off all day yesterday. If I knew how I'd be feeling today I def wouldn't have. I know everyone's experiences are different and I'm grateful for mine. Please keep us posted how you are and def ask me whatever you want!!

Thanks so much!! I feel a bit more at ease. Still trying to stay calm. I'm afraid of the pain, but hearing it isn't that bad is really a relief. I've had surgery before (knee surgery 10 years ago) and I just remember being really nauseous after, so I'm praying its not too bad this time. Thanks so much for this! I will keep everyone updated. And good luck to everyone else going this week! Thinking of all my sleeve sisters and brothers!

      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.
