How are you doing, Bettyanne?

My surgery is on Thursday. I had some food throughout the last 2 weeks, but the rest of the time stuck to my diet...and now there will not be any cheating whatsoever. A couple times I thought I might pass out if I didnt' eat, and my son had been away for a few weeks...so i had a little bit of a cheat day with him and my girl...felt i needed that to be able to move forward....and I had been broke while he was gone, so I couldn't do a thing...the timing has all stunk.

So, how are you? I know how it can feel lonely sometimes....and when my children--son--is driving me nuts, life with a pre-op diet gets hard.

I'm doing pretty good. Recovering from surgery and pretty bored! I've been staying with my parents all week (they've been taking care of me lol.. I'm 26 but I still need my parents when it comes to this stuff lol). I get one more week off of work. Not sure what I'm going to do! Read maybe... Look for another job lol. Start thinking of recipes for puréed food. I feel like life is consumed by this surgery, but that's okay. On to a healthier life!

I was on the liquid diet for 1 month. Cheated two days before surgery with a stupid sandwich. I regretted it so much and cried for a hour and a half thinking I wasn't going to be able to get surgery. It ended up fine but I should never cry that much over stupid food! I had to wait 13 hours to get an answer if I could still get surgery. Eating that stupid sandwich just wasnt worth my misery. Lesson learned. I've never been more motivated!

13 hours!!!! What for? 2 days? Isn't 2 days long enough for a sandwich to be out of a stomache? I'm worried now....do I have something to worry about? Oh geez.

      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.
