So I am on the 13th day of a liquid diet, and while cooking dinner for the hubby I was tempted to lick the pan... If it wasn't that my hubby was looking at me I probably would have done it... Lol

Thought I'd share.

Thank all of you for replying. I too am nervous. However, I have been strangely calm today. I have been cleaning my house top to bottom. I am having "the last supper", 2 pieces of salmon with lettuce and olive oil and vinegar for dressing. I better make it count lol. Guys, we are gonna be just fine. I will pray for us tonight. I am just trying to stay positive if I can make it through the IV then I can make it through the rest lol. Just think of how skinny we are gonna be! Good Luck and May God be with you. :)

I wish all the 18th of March sleevers a smooth operation and recovery. I'm the 19th and I'm having chest pains, think they're from my anxiety over the surgery... Debating on writing my beautiful daughter a letter...???

DeeJack, we all need encouragement to go through with this elective surgery. We need the surgery but its scary. We have loved ones that need us. But it's hard to be there for them when we are unhealthy. Just pray, pray, pray! We will be ok. :-)

Today is, Day before surgery!!! My brain is in overdrive! Good luck and prayers going out to all pre op, post op & tomorrow ops :) I'm holding my daughters tighter today and loving them and my family with every ounce of myself. Everything has to be perfect between us all, because I don't want regrets. I wrote letters to my daughters too. I know the surgery will go fine and I'll be perfectly fine because of this surgery but are any of you being a nut job like me today? I read on this topic yesterday that someone said something like, "as long as the IV gets done it'll be smooth sailing". OMG, I been thinking of the IV constantly AND when they come constantly to draw blood...I am such a chicken! I have a can get a shot and I have tattoos but when it comes to going into a vein, I get weak in the knees. Did I read correctly that some have to prepare their bowels? Like what, enemas? That's not a requirement here, so I was just thinking how different some requirements are.

Anyone have a list for bag packing? I'm going to be doing that today as well as, food, drink and Vitamin shopping. I saved all this for today to keep my mind busy. I will surely be posting again today lol. Possssssitives thoughts everyone. My prayers go out to us all!

      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.
