Clear liquid diet has gone alot better than expected. I've sipped on liquids all day, eaten a few popcicles and sugar free Jello and I actually haven't had much hunger. I've been trying to just keep focused on doing well and not thinking of food. Just the rest of today, tomorrow and then surgery! Can't believe it's here. Felt like this day would never come and I'm getting emotional rather than nervous. So happy I started this process when I did and didn't wait any longer.

I have butterflies in my belly......surgery is 2 weeks from today and I'm feeling like OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.......all of sudden second guessing myself.....all of sudden planning on gym trips and how am i going to get my Protein in (i have great hair)' date=' are chewable vitamins just as effective, can I afford new clothes right now, will I look like a walking bobble head (body goes down, head stays the same), I'll miss eating the best greasy ribs in DC (might be a deal breaker), can I really miss work for two weeks and not stress about it CONSTANTLY.........I keep having all of these thoughts and more and normally I'm a pretty calm person.

My coworker had it a year ago and she started at 500lbs and is now down to 300 but eats all sorts of crap now and eats something constantly, I don't want to be like that. As I'm typing this, she's eating candy, yesterday it was chocolate, what the hell? Then there is that part of me that can't wait to show off in front of those that can't seem to talk to me about anything other than weight....."hey, I've got some old clothes that are waaay to big for me, do you want them?:" "You're with her, but she's fat". I can't seem to think about anything other then the post op crap....can I really do this....and truth be told........I'm scared, really scared

      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.
