I literally cannot wait. Tomorrow @ 1 is my pre op psych appt! Then next Wednesday is my upper endoscopy and then I am DONE! I stocked up on liquid diet foods today and I plan on starting it one week before surgery, Not required by my doctor but I thought that I would do it to mentally and physically prepare, something I decided since reading post from my peers on here :) But anyways I am so excited and I had to share!!! I have not told anyone besides my mom and my grandma. Anyone else keeping it under wraps??

I bought sugar free Jello, sodium free broths, and my grandma made me some other good broths from scratch. And I've got lots of flavored sugar free drinks and powders. I also have an unflavored Protein Powder i though I would mix into broth or juice or something.

Day 12 of the 14 day liquid pre-op diet. I have to check in at the hospital at 7am Monday for surgery. I'm getting kind of nervous now. It's all becoming real.

I have a bunch of pre surgery requirements that have to be done, different blood work, a upper endoscopy, meet with a psychiatrist and a nutritionist, and some even requite a liquid diet two weeks before surgery, luckily mine does not :) But you have to do all that stuff before they will even schedule you for 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.
