Oh, and the refrigerator is spotless! Sometimes it's the little things that cause pleasure . . especially on a pre-op liquid diet :)

My grocery bill is so much cheaper, too! And if I eat out, I have an extra 5+ meals to help get me through week. I don't have to buy new clothes because everything is too tight, instead I just pull the smaller clothes out from storage, and buy new if I want to, not cause I have to. I'm having fun experimenting with new recipes. I have more energy. I have more motivation to exercise. My skin looks better. My hair looks better. Everything is better now since the surgery. :-)

Some of these things last well past the preop phase, too. There are still far less dishes to wash in my house. My refrigerator is never overloaded and cluttered (unless I'm catering an event or entertaining, anyway) and tends to stay nice and clean.

And I never Iron. Ever. It was one of the rules before I married my husband. He can iron or he can pay someone else to do it for him, but I never, ever iron. :)

      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.
