Tonight I have my last meal before I begin my pre-op diet! I'm excited to start my diet because it signals the start of the surgical process! I have waited so long it feels like, yet other times it seems to have flown by.

I hope everyone from the last two days are doing well in recovery!

OMG Surgery has been bumped up from 10 to 730!!! Yay!! I feel bad though bc they said it was bc the person before me who was in the pre-op class with me got denied by her insurance. :-(

OMG that sounds so good! I'm not doing too well with the hunger on this low carb pre op diet. I just ate a pop tart while waiting for dinner to cook...probably blew my entire good day. But thankfully next week hunger won't be as big an issue for me.

Don't get to extreme hunger... use your shakes even if they don't sound satisfying at the time..it's only 2 weeks of your life .... YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

I definitely will. I asked the nurse last week and she said to wear a pad. I also threw some extras in my bag just so I don't have to wear their huge ones. Lol. I wanted to get it last week cause I knew this was going to happen. Ugh.

      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.
