See everyone on the flip side! It has been about 2 years of researching WLS and I'm finally here today. The timing is so appropriate and I am thankful to God for his Blessings and He is so on time. No matter how frustrated I was over the past few years it was all a Blessing in disguise. With that said, the tremendous support from all of you (you know who you are) has been very much appreciated and I know I am not alone! I have a late surgery today at 1:30 PM, so I will be starving and dehydrated by the time I get to the hospital, but I'm excited and nervous simultaneously...again THANK YOU ALL and see you on the flip side!

Congrats! You've made it! I hope your surgery goes smoothly and you have a speedy recovery! No need to worry about dehydration, they'll be pumping you full of liquids via IV :D Yep, I see a space here on the losers bench with your name on it.

      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.
