I've come too far to change my mind as well. I'm not having too much hunger...I drink lots of propel Water in between. I'm so thirsty all the time now. Make ure you get enough Protein, it will drive the hunger away.

I am freeking out! Lol ( nov 5th here)

I think I'll freak on the drive....I have a 2 1/2 hour drive to San Antonio Tx, for my surgery. I'm looking forward to my meal tonight : ) I drink 2 shakes and then a tiny meal for dinner. It has to be less than 300 calories ,17 grams of Protein and no more than 40 carbs. I sometimes have a sugar free Jello to help curb appetite.

Wow, I as the same. I never wanted to leave my children with anyone. I know how you feel. They will be okay :) Maybe try to think about how much better your life with them will be after surgery. I'm sure we will live longer LOL! I dont have my surgery time yet but am guessing it will be at 10 am. I bet i too will have to leave by 3:30. I have my pre-op visit on Monday. Im anxious to get the details and see what my after surgery instructions will be. I'm taking my IPad to the hospital and will post from there. Nice talking to you !

Hi ! Are you drinking enough Protein ? I get to have sugar free Jello and do use it if i get a bit hungry before my next shake . I try to not watch tv and that helps.....Are you going to post from the hospital to let us know how you are? Do you know how many days you will stay there? Thank for responding !

      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.
