just woke up a little while ago thanks to that disgusting drink we had to take to clear out our attend. and now I'm trying to fall back asleep knowing my alarm is going to sound off in 5hrs for me to shower and head out for my surgery. really getting more nervous and excited as time gets closer... best of luck to anyone that has had their date or has theirs to come. I haven't been on here lately since I've been dealing with my truck being stolen and totaled right before xmas.

Good luck tat2girl. Best wishes for a speedy recovery :-)

I am also a Dec surgery. The 18th at Stanford University. Doing well but needed a transfusion due to blood loss. Still lightheaded/lethargic due to the anemia. Good spirits other than mild depression after following my wife into Whole Foods and realizing how much life has changed... Wishing you all a happy holiday season

      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.
