I can't believe I'm 3 days away from a new life. I feel like its been forever since I started thus process....about this time last year I decided to do it and now March 6 is creeping up sooooo much faster than I could have imagined!!!! I'm nit scared or nervous...I'm afraid I'm going to start freaking out Tuesday night and I'm going to have no one to freak out to because I can't talk to my parents because they're already nervous so i think they're finding comfort in that I'm not nervous but rather excited! Ugh!!! 3 days please pass fast!!

Where are you getting sleeved? I'm march 6 too!

Any suggestions on the pre-op diet? I start mine tomorrow and my surgery is the 18th. I'm more worried about that than the surgery. I still have to cook for my family and I don't want to be tempted to eat.

Birdie,

My surgery is on the 19th, I start my diet on Tuesday. I have the fear that I won't be able to stick to the shakes only, since I also have to cook.

I got nervous kissing my babes goodbye, but I am one right now. I will get nervous right as they are getting ready to give me an iv, at least that is how it happened with my 2 c sections :)

I'm starting my two-week pre-op tomorrow. Hopefully I can stick with it and lose 10-15 lbs along the way.

      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.
