I am anxious and really starting to get nervous too! Don't know why, I have had 3 c-sections, a tubal reversal surgery, gall bladder removed, spinal surgery & fusion and also a complete hysterectomy. This one just seems to be "getting" to me. I am doing good with my clear liquids- just drained some gumbo Soup and drank the broth so that was good! I was sick of chicken broth- nice change up. Now, to try my new martini flavored crystal light ;)

No Protein today... Just all clear liquids. I was on a 6 day Pre-op liquid diet & could have Protein shakes and lots of protein- but not today <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

I did a little cheat yesterday and had a slice of pizza and felt sick after... And super guilty so I guess I am ready to get this over with! 17 hours and counting!

I am having surgery tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. With a check in at the hospital at 7:30 a.m. I have been on the pre- op diet for 6 days also. Already have seen a weight loss stomach is flatter. Havent cheated and actually am having a hard time fetting in all the shakes!! Makes me nervous for after surgery getting in all thr liquid!! I can't wait to see those results!! Get into my skinny jeans!! Bring on summer! I am nervous and have even had second thoughts! I am most nervous about all the inscision scars and hair loss!!

      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.
