Good luck everyone going in today! With some of us going in it makes my day seem that much closer. I am not really nervous though. More like a kid before Christmas! I have done great on my pre-op diet, despite everyone trying to tempt me. I have never had more people offer me food. "I feel so bad for you. Are you sure you don't want some? Here just take a bite." Erg.

I am down 21 pounds pre op as of this morning. I have today and tomorrow, Clear Liquids only. I am thinking apple juice for the energy? Anyway, I will be heading to the hospital at 630 am on Wednesday. Getting more anxious than excited. Surgeon told me not to hesitate to call him for a prescription if it gets to be too much.

Just Do It!!!

      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.
