Okay so... as we all know from my last few posts I have fallen off the diet wagon since booking my surgery date last month, but I have still been keeping to my work out routine which consists of running 4 times a week (plus whatever I do with the kids I teach twice a week in gym- not a lot since they are lazy but I'm working on physical fitness with them).

I moved my surgery date up from March to Jan 21st... I am excited but I think right now more scared, and nervous!

If I have fallen off the diet wagon now, what makes me think I can keep to the much more strict routine and diet post op?

I'm just second guessing myself right now... did anyone else feel this way?

I can't stick to a diet lol I know the sleeve will work for me because its a tool. My stomach will be smaller, and the hunger hormones aren't going to be as bad. I believe that will help me. I'm going to follow the diet with the sleeve because I wouldn't want to jeopardize my health. Right now, I just eat whatever and don't care about the consequence, but once I get the sleeve there will be consequences if I eat the wrong things

It is so much easier to stick to it after surgery! You will be amazed how little you eat and are satisfied! the sleeve is an awesome tool.

Thanks guys, you are definitely right, thanks for reminding me! after hours and hours and hours of research this doubt has just come over me tonight and I've somehow forgotten all of the basics... I will feel satisfied with small amounts of food post op. I'm just hoping I will stick the right foods in my mouth...

For the first 3 weeks you will have to keep track of your liquids, Protein, and I do calories but not necessary because I've only been over 400 1 day.

I can send you the 14 day pre op diet that my dietician sent me if you like. I really enjoyed doing it as it consisted of foods I really like. Just put your email address if you would like me to send you it. You loose about a stone (14 pounds) in the first week. Xxxx

      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.
