Eating like I am going to the chair

No more mimosas? What's a girl to do? One of my fav wines is slightly carbonated. I will have to join the binge brigade and have a nice barbecue meal as well.

One thing I know I will miss though and it might sound crazy' date=' but I love taking a nice cold bottle of Water and just drinking it down. I already decided that will be the last thing I do before I go NPO the night before surgery.

Backtobarb, I miss mimosas too, but don't worry too much about missing your water. I am 13 weeks out, and I can easily turn up a cold water of bottle and drink it all. I've never had any problem drinking as much as I wanted.

I really hope I will too. There's nothing better than downing a cool bottle of water- well... a mimosa comes in a close second :)

Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking this way! I'm a newbie and scheduled for surgery in Oct. I've been allowing myself to eat what I want thinking it'll be the last time ever. I know I should start making changes now but it's so difficult!

I think I would literally choke someone for three French fries! Just 3 fries!!! I'm not hungry but I just keep smelling what people are eating around me is annoying!!! The smell seems stronger for some reason. Weird. Even when someone was eating crackers next to me I could smell it. One of my coworkers was standing over me eating a cookie the other day and I had to get up and walk away! I was so annoyed! I have 2 more days of work left before I get sleeved Monday. So happy! {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(}

I am 3 months post and prior to pre opt. I went nuts prior to pre opt diet. The night before the liquid diet I called it the last supper.

I just had my "last supper" today was my pre-op appointment (which took 9 hours!) and tomorrow starts my pre-op diet. I realized that there really are some things that I won't ever eat again, so I took advantage of that and ate my favorite meal, spaghetti. Lol

      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.
