I'm extremely happy & excited. My surgery is the 14'th I'm also a little stressed and nervous at the same time. I guess its mixed emotions, but mostly excitement! My pre op diet is going well. I'm on my third day. So surprised I'm not starving. The only thing I've noticed last night was when I would walk/stand, I would feel stomach tightening. Like I've done 50 sit ups or something. Other than that, surgery can't come soon enough! Come on May 14!!!

Thats good to hear that all is going well. Maybe its your stomach shrinking or a little stress.. Im surprised that 200 ml actually makes me full! Awesome! How many times a day must you eat.. Im not scared for the operation it self, its more the hospital and theater worrying me. I dont like hospitals! Just the smell makes me nauseas and feeling icky. And also afterwards that stress me a little im scared of the complications. But ya just keep positive and be sure im going to be oky for the sake of my little girl..

I have a Protein Drink for Breakfast, lunch and snack around 7:00 pm. One lean cuisine at dinner and only Water for drinking fluids. At least 64 ounces/ day. It seems I'm doing about 80 ounces/day. I'm only consuming about 500 calories /day. I'm so surprised I'm not hungry. I'm just nervous of any complications that may arise. I have a very supportive hubby and three great teenage boys. Lol I made them steaks on the grill the other night but my hubby gave all to the boys and insisted on eating a lean cuisine with me. :-). He's the best!

      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.
