WOW!!!! How fast is this??? I received a phone call today from my doctor's office and I have been scheduled for my surgery on Tuesday, May 28th!!!!

I was told to start my liquid diet today!!! Now, that I have a date, now it's real. But I'm so excited and nervous at the same time.

This is the scariest part of this whole process. We've all been in your shoes and have felt the excitement and the fear at the same time. It will come and go in waves. Try to keep yourself busy for the next few days so your not focusing on it. Clean your house, talk with friends and family just keep as busy as possible....Time will go fast and soon you're be sitting next to us on the BIG LOSER'S BENCH worrying about stalls etc.....Can't wait to hear your journey that's soon to come. :)

      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.
