I cant believe surgery is almost here...It has yet to sink in...I mean REALLY sink in! I was doing well with my diet for the past few months, even lost 20 lbs! I weighed myself on Friday morning and I was still at 219, but I did some indulging Friday night and this weekend....so I hope I don't gain very much :unsure: I really wanted some chicken wings, but then my mom mentioned bbq (which is one of my favorite things) so hubby and I went out to get ribs and fried pickles at our favorite place. Yesterday wasn't that bad...Had some low fat french toast from trader joes and an orange for Breakfast, a Protein Shake for lunch and some thai take out for dinner (from our most favorite place!) but I didn't get a fried dish...this morning I had a couple blueberry pancakes with sugar free Syrup, turkey sausage and one egg. Lunch will also be on the light side since I am at work (I work with prader willi individuals on a strict diet so everything at work is pretty healthy to eat) but this evening one of my girlfriends is coming over for dinner and I'm thinking we will be ordering pizza....

I feel like I should be saying goodbye to all my favorite foods, but I also don't want to sabotage myself. Thats the old me...self sabotaging me. I want to succeed! So needless to say, I am REALLY looking forward to Wednesday! Ive even started to get my hospital bag together! I am super scared, but that nervousness has been slowly going away....I am more excited for the first day of the rest of my life to start!!! :D

      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.
