Good for you! I don't have a pre op diet, but being that I am two weeks out, I am going to do one myself. I am doing two shakes a day, with a healthy meal for one. I had my last "last supper" yesterday; pizza. Now it is down to business for me. Hurry up two weeks!

Home from the hospital! I feel so much better just being here in a comfy chair! Still super sore and swollen but that is to be expected. Feeling a lot better with the walking!! Especially when the took out the drain tube... That made me feel like a brand new person once gone. Ended up with 145 laps around my bariatric center floor' date=' which come to fine out was 5.36 miles!!! I couldn't believe it. I was just doing it cause it was more comfortable for me. And I couldn't sit in the room anymore!

Is it in a circle? Ours is. I think 16 laps is a mile. I'm hoping I can fill the board up! Great job on your mileage!

It's rectangle. 27 laps around ours is equal to 1 mile! Walking really did help! It was hard the first day second day got better and by the third it was nothing. Just do a few laps at a time take a rest and they will add up before you know it.

      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.
