Geez I wish could lose 5 overnight.....good job. My surgery is Feb 6th and I am getting antsy too....I just want to get it done and start my new life......like you said' date=' its time to move n already...I wish it was tomorrow[/quote']

The hard part is already over with (testing and approval process). I am going to be done with my testing on weds as long as this cardiovascular doc gives me clearance on Weds. Soooo nervous about the stress test I have to do. Hoping I didn't mess my heart up with those diet pills all those years. Cmon weds!! I wish I were were u are in the process. I know u are soooo excited. I decided to have a farewell party once I get approved. Farewell to the old me!!

That's a great idea!!! My brother in TX is coming to visit the weekend before my surgery and I think I should have one too! I hope all goes well with your last appointments. I'm sure you'll do well! You'll be there in no time and will look back on times like now as old memories of the old you. Good luck with everything!

I am very excited.....you will get here too....I cant believe it 10 days away....best wishes for your tests....just remember to breathe deep and stay relaxed as possible. You will do great. I have not been kind to my body either. I failed my first 4 ekg's they kept just letting me lay there. But I have so many health problems that I wasn't surprised. You will do great!

Thanks Mami and Turtle... I guess I don't have it to bad then. I can't do cold things like Popsicles lol' date=' I never could. Am I the only one who dreams about food??? I see now that I have a serious food addiction. I'm in bed next to my wife and infant daughter but I'm thinking about food. I heard that most cravings go away after surgery??? Is that true?

Hi Kelly,

Yeah, it's weird. I don't think I've ever focused on food this hard before... It's just weird to me that this is happening during the time that I can't have FOOD! lol, on a good note though, I've just started my 3rd day of preop diet and lost 13 lbs so far!!! Man I hope it stays like this, this easy and all lol

What kind of shakes is everyone doing? I have to lose 10 pounds by the 13th or I have to buy the doctors shake program.

Hey there, I bought eight 4packs of four flavors each pack worth of Adkins Advantage shakes. They're delicious. Today is the end of my 3rd day and I've lost 15 lbs already, like whoa...

I have found that Unjury chicken flavor is really good. It tastes just like chicken broth and I plan on putting veggies in it to make a Soup.< /div>

Did u just use Water? Because I literally just threw a full bowl away 10 minutes ago because I couldn't stand the smell of it even....

      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.
