I feel so guilty for not following my no carbs diet. I have 3 days before surgery, guess I better jump back on the bandwagon! I wish you all well.

Mine is the 21st in Dallas with Dr. Dirk Rodriguez. I'm starting to get a little nervous, but mainly about the post op stuff. I'm just ready to be slim!

Hey my surgery is on the 25th of September in Prueto Vallarta with Dr Joya. This is crazy but I'm not nervous yet. I'm sure that it will occur. I have done enough research to know that I am in good hands and that everything is going to be OK. It is normal to nervous, it would be weird if you wern't. Good luck and remember why you are doing 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.
