How's everybody doing? I'm definitely getting a little nervous about the surgery, starting my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow! Surgery is in a mere two weeks, I can't wait.

Does anyone have tips for burning off nervous energy/anxiety??

I hear you re the nerves. I haven't had a good night's sleep in the last few days. I have started walking daily for 30-40 mins, in preparation of my new healthy lifestyle :-) and that has helped a bit. Good luck with your journey!

Ugh. Totally bombed on the pre-op diet today. I wish my doctor didn't believe in them like other doctors. If I could starve myself successfully I wouldn't be in this situation. Debbie downer right now. Here's to a better tomorrow.

Hang in there sugarpop...I don't know which plan you're on, but I know from my own, it is tough. I've done a week of it now and the sugar-free Popsicles do help. Don't give up...keep reminding yourself it isn't forever and all for a great cause....YOU!

A page or a group? Isn't a page public?

Wouldn't a group be better (private)? Maybe call it August Mexico Sleevers?

      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.
