Hi I'm Jan. 10th!

I can't believe it's actually 2 weeks away. My surgeon didn't require me to do a 2 week liquid diet. I was required to lose 10% of excess weight. I still need to lose 4 lbs by the 2nd to reach that goal. So tomorrow I'm going to start 2 Protein drink and sensible dinner/ per day.

I've tasted a few Protein powders and found that I like Syntrax Nectars. They mix really easy with a spoon and don't have an after taste.

Trying to get my family ready ( I refuse to cook until I get to purée stage at least lol)

So far not nervous , just really excited. We have a family trip to Hawaii in July and for the first time in years I'm actually looking forward to hanging out by a pool. If I have a 50 lb weight loss by then I will be happy.

How is everyone else getting prepared ?

Saw my surgeon today,so excited... Received the preop packet, I asked the doctor if I needed to bring a heating pad, pillow etc. he said no, that they will supply everything I need.... Does anyone have any suggestions of what I may need so I can ask for it.

Awesome! What is it like drinking? Does it feel different to you? Can you only drink a little at a time?

It feels weird drinking, I can only handle a little at a time... But the gas moving around really really hurts.

      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.
