@ 1FabulousDiva

Thank you for wishing me the best' date=' No not really nervous a little concerned about the "unknown" that comes with surgery but ultimately no worries. Ive been told that my pre-op diet will be a "liquid meal plan" consisting of Meal Replacement shakes like Carnation Instant Breakfast, Slim Fast, Ensure , Boost, and Gluecerna limit to 1000-1200 calories a day and to consume only 64 oz of calorie free, caffeine free beverages each day. This will occur 7-10 days before surgery day at which I haven't received notice yet I will be told or giving surgery day on November 28th. I'll share date as soon as its told to me!!!

Again Thanks and best wishes to you as well,[/quote']

A few more days to go and you will know your date.....I know you are on pens and needles. My count down has started and I have 16 more days.

How's the patient? I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hello, I'm doing good. My Thanksgiving was great. I went to my sisters house and I drank my shake with no problem while they enjoyed the wonderful food. I was so proud of my self. Today is my first day of soft foods. I had a egg and I mad a bad decision when I chose fruit. I purchased pineapple not thinking about how tough the meat would be to chew. So I'm off to the store later the day.

My thanksgiving was wonderful, and now I am looking forward to surgery and the unknown that come along with it.

I was very nervous about the unknown after the surgery. So far the unknown for me is uneventful. Just planing what to eat. I don't care for leftovers so I was struggling with my list I can eat. I'm good now. I go back to work on Friday.

I am having my surgery with Dr. Davis on Jan 8th. My pre-op anesthesiologist appt. is today. I would love to hear more about how you guys are doing - so glad we are in this boat together and can share stories.

I actually pushed my stuff through with Tracy - I know she was ready to be done with me :-). I have had a great experience so far with the whole team.

      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.
