Well, I think I'm just about ready for one of the biggest decisions I've made in my life. I went shopping and got most everything I needed for post op recovery. Down to my fuzzy slippers. Lol. I took a snap shot of some of my things and posted it to my page. I figure if I have to eat and drink like a baby I might as well do it with cute stuff. Hello Kitty sippy cup, plate, fork and spoon. Teehee. Feel free to browse my items and if you think I'm missing something chime in. I'll gladly take advice. 3 days till surgery.

LOL! Good luck on your surgery! I am 5 days post op and am anxiously awaiting the next step. The liquid diet is getting old! My husband went out and bought me a really cute sippy cup though! :) After my surgery the hospital gave me a special plate with areas drawn for different foods. It is sooooo cute! Can't wait to use it! God Bless You!

Thank you so much! I love my Hello Kitty sippy cup. I tried it out last night. It's not so bad. That's so cool they gave you a special plate. I'm getting rather tired of the Protein Shakes myself but I know it's all worth it in the end. I'm sticking to the diet religiously. I want to get to the point where food no longer controls my life. Where I only consume it for fuel/necessity. Not because I'm so in love with eating.

      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.
