I'm finally getting down to the final stretch now. My surgery is for this Tuesday morning at 9. I have been on an emotional roller coaster. Last night I was feeling scared, today I'm excited and feel anxious. I'm surprised at how well I have been able to adjust to the pre-operative liquid diet because I was definitely a food-a-holic, and I mean a real food junky!! But thanks to all the help from the support groups I attended and all the staff at the dr's office I have been able to start my mental transformation. I'm really hoping I can stay focused once I'm out of surgery and all the realities come to light. Things can be so different after the recovery. I'm very happy to have found this app and I have found a lot of great information and a lot of inspiration. So, thank you all for your post. Wish me luck... :))

I can relate! My surgery is tomorrow morning at 9:45am. I've been cruising WLS forums and blogs all day. This is the start of a new life for all of us -- I suppose it is normal to be nervous. :).

Good luck!

      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.
