This will be my first major surgery. I'm a little nervous about the whole thing and am hoping to make friends who will help support me and me supporting them. All of this is completely new to me. I don't know what else to say, but I'm excited to meet people in the same boat!

How's the pre diet going? I was wondering about how tough that would be. I work at an Italian restaurant, so I think it'll be an interesting ride!

By the way... Thank you very much. God luck and keep me updated!

Hi Diana, Are you having surgery on the 19th? I thought that is what I saw. I am also. Where are you having yours? Do you have to do a liquid diet a few weeks in advance?? Just curious.

Happy for you. I am having mine in Tijuana. I start my liquids on the 3rd. I will have all my pre-testing done the morning of surgery. Still hoping to find a buddy before I go that is going to Tijuana too. If not, I am sure I will meet people in the hospital walking the halls with me. :) Keep me posted on your progress. Very exciting journey.

      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.
