I am sooooo ready. A little nervous, a little excited. I was kind of panicky earlier and had to remind myself that today is truly my LAST Fat Tuesday.

Today is my liquid pre-op day. Has been good so far :). I don't look forward to the magnesium citrate I have to drink tonight. I keep telling myself it is soooo gonna be worth it when my knees, hips, etc aren't hurting me all the time.

Ive been on liquids for the past 2 weeks (lost 10 pounds) and am on Clear Liquids only today. Oh and the magnesium citrate. I drank the whole bottle a little bit ago. Not bad if you chill it and pour it over ice then drink as fast as you can with a straw.

      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.
