Oh wow the weekend is going to go super fast for you! Are you ready? I'm just starting to feel excited about it this past week. Maybe a little more excited about no work for 3 weeks lol. Last time I was off that long was about 7 years ago.

I think not being able to have any liquids after midnight Sunday is going to be the hard part. How are y'all doing on your pre-op diets if you had to have one? Are you already packed? I am I've just got a few last minute things to pick up.

The pre-op diet has not been bad at all. I'm on Atkins. There have been times when I really want to have something (pancakes!) "one last time", but that passes. I messed up once with a small piece of birthday cake, and that was it. And I am with you on no fluids after midnight. We get no Water at all until the next day after surgery! I have no idea how to handle that yet.

I have packing left to do and some cleaning, but I am torn between doing that and just going out and having fun and forgetting about chores lol. Rebel!

I was also concerned about not being able to drink Water for so long....I remember the day after surgery laying there using the oral swab they give to to wet your lips .....When they were not looking i sucked all the water off....before you know it your taking little sips and it feels great.....Then the doc comes in and says you can have crystal lite. That is HEAVEN...... I remember thinking i would pay 50 bucks a glass for that crystal lite it was so good....but i was in the hospital so i probably did LOL

Good morning my surgery is this Tuesday, I just finish packing and saying bye to all my favorite foods. I am nervous and excited. I am expecting a lot of pain which I know I can handle what worries me is the emotional withdrawals from food!!! God's protection, strength and guidance too all of us.

Congrats to you both! The time is going to go by so fast! I'm already wondering where my morning went. I have to be at the hospital at 5 in the morning. I hope I can sleep tonight. I'm trying to get in as many liquids as possible because I know after midnight I've got to cut it off for hours. Continue to keep us posted and I'll do the same!

      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.
