I'm having my surgery at 4pm tomorrow!!! I'm really proud of sticking to my preop diet. This quote has gotten me through temptation these last couple weeks

You can suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret!

I had to remember that when camping with friends this past weekend. Everyone indulged in food and I stayed on track. Hoping I can continue. Good luck to everyone else having surgery this week! Down 14 pounds (231 to 217) during preop diet :)

Grats girl.. it only gets better from here. I am so proud of myself and it all started with how well I did pre-op and now I am one month post op. There are soooo many soft mushy terrible things we can have during this time and I am very happy with myself for not having them :)

Wishing you all the best :)

      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.
