My date is Dec 4!!!! I have finished Christmas shopping. Planning to have clean house/car so nothing to do when get home. It's all about me! I used to look forward to lounging around with good book, favorite food and my beloved Diet Coke. Lol. I will have to have new plans.... sleep maybe? After the noisy hospital.

My date is Dec. 14th. I'm terrified and excited all at the same time. I hate surgery, but this so feels like a great decision for me. To prepare, I've been trying to stock up on these foods we're supposed to be eating post-op and incorporating them into my diet now. My surgeon only requires a 2 week pre-op diet but I had friends who had to start earlier, so I figure what's the harm. Spending time with family, salsa dancing, and hanging out with friends mostly

I absolutely dread cleaning but have been slowly tugging through it as the week goes by. Also gonna get a car wash and wash all my clothes. I hate dirty clothes going into the new year let alone a surgery on top of that!

      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.
