Isla and lydia we r surgery buddies!!! My time is set for 11am. I've been on a "4 Protein shakes a day and only raw veggies" pre-op diet since 8/29 and Im so sick of it. Haven't been feeling too good at all' date=' headaches, bloated and gas. Not to mention very irritable!!! Im excited, but very nervous too. I am married and have 2 boys, 7 & 9. I am turning 40 on 9/25. How bout u?[/quote']

Yay!!!! Another surgery buddy!!!! My surgeron didn't require and liquid diet or anything! I don't have my time until tomorrow...Tuesday!

I went shopping for a little bit of puréed things or things to puréed! I'll be in a puréed diet for a month after surgery. But it's finally setting that my body is about to get rocked! ;) lol

And I'm 29, happily married to the greatest guy! We don't have any kids, just 2 furbabies! Lol Kids are one of the many reason I/we came to this decision to have surgery!

Oooh I can't wait!!!! :)

Haven't been on here in a while I just wanted to wish those having surgery this week a speedy recovery. I'm still a bunch of nerves mine is in 2 weeks sep 25th. I start my liver shrinking diet on Wednesday, I'm pretty much ready. This 10 month wait went by super fast. Oh and to the people keeping track of the weight my start weight is 328. To my surgery buddies how are you guys doing? I hope everyone else is doing well :)

I haven't been nervous yet until today. My surgeons assisstant called at 3:45 and told me that she never received the cleance from my PCP and she needs it today. I went into panic mode. I called my PCP to see whats wrong. She won't clear me until she gets the cardiologist to clear me. Well I was panicing. Everybody closes at 5 and they need this today. So after a dozen phone calls back and forth and me damn near crying, screaming and throwing a hissy fit. I get a call at 4:50 saying they got the clearence and I'm good to go! I don't understand why they needed it TODAY. Yeah I have an appoinment w/ my surgeon at 7:30 am tomorrow but my surgery isn't until friday. But anyway......It's good now!

      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.
