For sure!! I am crazy excited. A bit nervous so trying to stay very busy in the meantime.

Is anyone nervous about 7/4? I mean Independence Day BBQ and picnics and everything. Obviously will not partake in anything. Just awkward being there and not eating. Play it by ear I guess...

If I feel well enough to be out and about for the 4th, I won't have any problems holding a plate with a little food on it that I'm not eating. People won't pay that much attention, really (especially after the liquid refreshments start flowing)!

Most likely, the 4th will be a quiet one for me. But NEXT year? Girrrrrl, imma rock a fantastic look and not even care about the food!

      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.
