Time goes by really fast the closer you get to your surgery date. I am about a week away and I keep asking myself where has time gone?

Talked to my boss today, she was very supportive. Told her I was having a sleeve, not just bariatric surgery like before. She said any week was good except the week of September 17th. So it looks like Sept 24 th may work. Going to call the surgeons office tomorrow, if I do not hear from them by noon. They should of gotten my acceptance packet from the bariatric coordinator, since she called me Friday.

I am actually excited to do the preop diet. Some of my last meals over the summer left me feeling not so good. Time for a deep carb cleanse, and prep for a new life!

Maybe this is my "midlife crisis" reaction.... Ah, perhaps a sportscar when I get to goal. Take the wife on a romantic roadtrip to the keys.

But first, I drink shakes!

I Desoerately need a carb cleanse! Sounds crazy but I want my doc to put me on a longer pre op diet.

I thought of starting early, too!

When I was successful on weight watchers for a few years, I never felt better because I had stopped eating all sweets and junk food.

Too funny. Well I expect it to be used then.

I'd like you to go to surgery first though as this isn't all about you but rather- paving the road for me :). Hahahahahahahahahha

      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.
