So excited, but so anxious. I can't believe how quickly it got here. I know it's going to be worth it. Lucky me has to clean out my system today with magnesium citrate, not looking forward to that

I know what you mean! Today is my first day of being on Clear Liquids. Already my stomach is growling...lol! So I'm gonna fix some broth. Be sure to keep us posted!!! You'll do fine!

Hi July sleevers, my date is also on 22nd if my bank loan is approved in time. Really hope it goes well, have started the diet (low fat in my case and just fluids for last 2 days). So excited and nervous that I can hardly breathe.

I see that there are a few who will also be going on the 22nd.

WOULD LOVE IT IF ALL OF US JULYERS CAN BE FORUM FRIENDS! it will make it easier to navigate through the same issues.

Well I'm a 7/30- is that close enough :)

My date is the 30th as well. I went today for the pre op class and got pre registered, so I'm all set up and ready to go. I have been very excited today and now I'm just very tired from a very busy day. I feel bed time coming early tonite.

My surgery is tomorrow at 12:15pm. I've stocked the house, although I forgot applesauce. I have no idea what to pack for the hospital. Oh yeah I just remembered I need to bring all of my medicines and my c-pap mask. Can anyone offer any other suggestions?

      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.
