Hey Susan!! The 11th isnt too shabby a day...i am having surgery that day too!!

Not only are we having our surgery on the same day, we both get to do a 3 week liquid diet instead of the 2 week liquid diet!!! I guess I shouldn't be upset because I have lost almost 10 pounds in 7 days and that is the reason that we're all here...should be interesting to see how much I loose before surgery day!!!

***Newhouse? Sigh I meant nervous. My iPhone hates me.

I am sitting here chuckling. I thought maybe you were getting married to someone named Newhouse between now and surgery. Not only did I think that a strange way to spend a honeymoon, but I wanted to inquire as to what substance you were on to be so calm in the face of your wedding and life altering surgery! :-)

My surgery is the 4th and I am pretty much obsessing.

Im just so excited and reading this forum so much. I wrote a list of things I want at hospital and what I think I should have readily available when I get home.

And just screaming out of excitement sometimes when I'm alone in my car. :).

I'm ready for a renewed life.

Can anyone recommend a liquid brand of glucosamine chondroitin MSM? I take Osteo Bi-flex brand in pill form now for joint pain, but they do not appear to make the formula in liquid form. I take two a day, and they are big horse pills, which will be a problem swallowing after surgery.

      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.
