Oh my goodness when i heard my date (August 1st) i had a rush of emotions go threw my whole body. I was exited, short of breath, i can swear my vision went blurry, i got an instant head ache lol. I know what a drama queen lol. Or maybe it just this hot Cali weather lol. Im ready for this new beginning.

I was told from the dietician no caffeine for 3 to 6 months my dr told me to stay away from it for life it makes bad habits easier to come back. So dropping the habit i had a headache for a week. So i would try to give it up three weeks before date due to no nsaid before or after surgery. Well i guess that also depends on ur choice of headache medicine.

      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.
