I've got two days left before my surgery. The prep diet has gone well' date=' down 14#. I'm hungry and there has been lots of temptation but its short term and it will make the surgery go better, so not a big deal. Here's the weird part, being a guy I am used to my dreams being driven by my baser instincts. My dreams are mostly testosterone fueled adventures, think action movie / porn. So the last few nights it seems my brain has a taken a turn from the usual having sex while driving through explosions on a high-speed car chase to the food channel. Yes ladies and gents, I am dreaming about food and not healthy food. I can't recall ever having a food dream but I've got them now. So I guess if fat guy can't have his way when I'm awake, he's going to pig out in my dreams. Of course one of them was hotdogs chasing donuts so the testosterone is still there on some level.[/quote']

I can't stop laughing. My dreams may be worse. Food fight with me having eaten everything before the fight begins lol. All the best to you with your surgery.

In the "for what it's worth department" - went to the movies this morning, and speed my way through an entire 20 oz. bottle of flavored water without any pain. Not bad for being 5 days post op, I think!

Speed should have been sipped, of course, but the point is the same :)

I'm so glad to hear you're having similar success, Phoenix! Yay, us!

I'm July 15 th too. I will not find out what time my surgery is at until 6pm on Sunday. I have the preop testing at the hospital and medical clearance this week. Has anyone's surgery been postponed based on the hospital testing?

I feel the same way when drinking liquids that I can drink it pretty fast. I had a pureed thicker Soup & that went down slow but liquid goes pretty smooth & I'm 5 days out. Thought there was something wrong with me!!

      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.
