So I just drank 10 oz of Magnesium Citrate and I have made it through the preop liquid diet and I am on the schedule for 10:45 tomorrow at U of Wisconsin Hospital following first making contact with them in August of last year. I'm excited, ready and at peace with my decision and really feel I have done all I can to be ready for this welcome change. I have learned so much from the boards and I wanted to say thanks again. I know we all are so different and so alike. I am just tired of letting my weight hold me back, restrict my life and influence virtually every decision I make, My time has come. We all have a ton of different reasons that we have a chosen this path. But no matter what those individual reasons are we all share the most important reason and that is we all want be better, better people, and we all feel like this surgery will make us better. So Good luck to all of you wherever you are in this journey Peace,Jim

      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.
