My date is July 31st and I am so ready. The pre op diet is tough but I think my mind set is, Lets do this! I have a very supportive husband and 3 kids that don't really know what is going on!!! I am so excited, I can hardly wait!!! I am a little nervous of being off work for 13 days then getting thrown back in, in the swing of things!

My bf expects me to cook for him and run and get him food in the drive theu during my liquid diet...AFTER he said he would do it with me cuz he couldnt bear to eat in front of me. Actions are louder than words! He sees nothing wrong with making me smell and handle food. He refuses to eat what his nephew makes. Grrrrrrrr

Ladies I'm so excited I'm looking forward to getting off some of the blood pressure meds. I won't have to worry about diabetes a couple of times I've been borderline. Now if I can get my thyroid levels in a normal range ill be even happier. I start my pre-op liquid diet on the 24th. This weekend I plan to have me a slice of red velvet cheese cake for the last time. My doctor requires that I stay in the hospital overnight I've been praying that I don't have any complications. I was told the key to start healing process is walking so I plan on walking walking. I know I'm all over the place in this post I just have so much on my mind.

I know it! I have so much going on that I am all over the place too! I am on liquids now and trying to get my house together before I go in the hospital (my hospital's program is straigh two nights and two days after surgery day). I am also helping my bf try to gain custody pf his nephew and going through a time at work! I certainly went to Red Lobster before starting the liquid diet! Enjoy your cheesecake!

My day is the 30th so its close... :-/ I keep flipping between nervious and excited. I've been wanting to do this for a while, so I'm ready but I'm still anxious. I'm crazily cleaning the house this week and reorganizing cabinets. I feel like I have to be busy all the time!

I hope everyone is doing well on their preop diets! Only a few more days :-D

      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.
