Let the week of food fun commence! Haha

So, I am very lucky to not have a pre-op diet (my apologies to those that have to do one). Today I went shopping and planned out all of my favorite meals/snacks for the next week till my surgery. Haha I'm like a kid at Christmas. As excited as I am to eat all of these goodies, I'd rather be done with my surgery and on to the liquid diet/ losing weight. Lol

I'm with you! They said don't treat it as your last meal, but I've been eating all the things I know I won't be able to for a long time if ever.

Hi all! I am also a June baby! My surgery is scheduled for June 3rd. My emotions are all over the place. One moment I want to cancel everything' date=' and another moment I can't wait to have the surgery. My biggest downfall is researching the Internet and reading so many regrets. But I also see how people say the surgery was the best thing that ever happened to them....or wish they had done the surgery many years before. I just pray to God I am making the right decision for myself and my family. Congratulations to all the June babies![/quote']

I think that we all are going through some if the same emotions. Try not to read a lot on the Internet. My date is June 4th. I am getting a little freaked out at times myself.

I'm hoping my new pouch can tolerate spicy food. Humus with jalapeños... my current favorite! :-)

One week! I have been busy trying to get my household chores completed. Filled the fridge with things that my husband and son can eat, packing and trying to get everything situated for the teacher who will close out the year for me. With all of this going on, I have managed to not once complain about this liquid diet. I will say the first two days were hard. I have to remind myself to drink the Protein Shakes and Water. I guess this not only helps shrinking my liver, but it has prepared me mentally for what is ahead. I have dropped 14 pounds in one week...one more week to go and I look forward to the 100+ when I make it to the losers bench,

Hello fellow June Surgeries....I got a phone call from my insurance company this morning and I was approved, just got off the phone with my Surgeon's office and I have a DATE!!! Yaayyyy....June 27th....possibly June 10th, she's checking. However, I think I'd rather do June 10th because I'd like to have a few weeks under my belt by the 4th of July and my birthday which is July 24th...I'm sooo excited, yet a little nerveous.

      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.
