I am scheduled for 12:00 and I read in the pre-op some where that they want you an hour early.

Anyways, I am just packing and making some last minute arrangements. We fly to TO tommorow.

I'll send out good vibes Becca and Andrew for your surgery in TO. I am 6 days banded and feeling good! liquid diet is not bad, especially the smoothier Soups. Gas pains all gone and suture/wounds sites mending really well. You will breeze through it and wake up in a whole new realm of nutrition - a second chance to get it right. Absolutely fantastical. Again, good luck and let us know how you are soon.:clap2:

Thanks guys. I am just in the hotel waiting to go to my day before appointment with Dr. C.

I am sure all will go well. Assuming that this giant storm they are calling for does not shut down the GTA.

      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.
