I am on Day 2 of Pre-op diet and my body is in shock!!!!! My sister and brother n law were both sleeved 6 wks ago by Dr. Almanza and are doing great with only a few snags here and there......Hang in there, lots of Water as it tricks the mind supposedly plus allows the body to be cleansed and our internal organs to become less inflamed..

I feel like I'm nesting. Been 'getting prepared' to bring my new sleeve home from the hospital. Except instead of diapers and receiving blankets I'm buying sugar free Jello, gas x, Miralax, bottles and bottles of various Vitamins, etc. I guess getting stuff ready at home is helping keep my nerves kinda settled. Jan 9 won't get here fast enough!

Today is the fifth day of my pre diet. I am doing good but I have hours where I just want to cheat! I really have to talk myself out of it. I have also been buying supplies like crazy. Do we really need all this stuff? I got all the Christmas stuff put away and still need to clean. Jan 9 can't get here fast enough.

I, too, feel like I am nesting! Surgery date is Jan. 16 and I started my pre op diet today. Last night my hubby and four of my friends took me to a nice restaurant for dinner. ( I called it my "Last Supper" lol). Today, it's Protein Shakes and one tiny meal. But I am ready and excited about my surgery date, so I've started gathering the items to take to the hospital and cleaning my house.

      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.
