Just got back from 2 weeks of camping and I have MISSED THIS BOARD and all of you!

I have only skimmed over the 7 pages of "new posts" but I wanted to say Hello! Darcy ... you are BANDED! I can't believe it! Woooo Hooooo!

Michelle, I hope you are doing well, I didn't see anything from you!

Donali, I am so sorry for all you have gone though! You are such a great support and such a good person! Thanks for all you have shared and I wish you all the best!

I started my pre-op "diet" on Monday, 7-5. Less than 30 carbs a day. There is still a lot to eat and I feel like I am cheating! I see the nutritionist tomorrow, and she will probably confirm that yes, I'm doin' it wrong!! :D

July 19th is rapidly approaching! Not nervous yet, I guess I am still in disbelief! I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready!!

Debra, yikes, 2 weeks of camping?? I sure hope it wasn't the roughing-it kind where you have to pee in the woods. I can do that for, well, one night (maybe) but that's about it. :D

What a great time to take a vacation--you get back and the whole summer is still ahead of you. And what a summer this will be! :D :D :D

Thank you Ladies!

I saw my nutritionist today and she sid I am right on track. Just staying Low-carb 'til the 19th! She also gave me the Phase 1 outline for the 1st week to 10 days. I've been reading about that for three or four months here on this board ... but it didn't really sink in until the instructions had my name on them!

No, my rough camping vacation was in our 26 1/2 foot travel trailer, complete w/ central air and a bathroom inc. shower. I have a queen size bed in my master bedroom! Not really roughing it, but it's a nice get-away! The kids love it and we take the dogs w/ us, so it's a lot of fun. We are going again early August.

Glad to be back!!!

      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.
