Just wanted to say I haven't forgot about you all. I have company over this weekend until tomorrow and it makes it hard to do the calendar stuff. Good luck to those having surgery today: janifer's hubby, rnjsnana & mychoice2lose.

Janifer - I wanted to answer your message personally however, this darn new system says I'm not allowed to. How frustrating! Anyway - I am SO glad to hear you and your husband are doing well! I'm halfway through my pre-op diet. I'm 9 days away from surgery. I cannot believe it! How did you get to go home so fast? I thought my hospital was great with a 2 day stay!!

And my day is 11/26. Today is my 3rd day on preop diet and OMG!! It's a beast! I'm hungry and I just feel kinda out of it...had to take a day off from work to try and get the hang of this. I keep telling myself that this is a speed bump and once I get used to this, it'll be surgery day before I know it!! ????

The first 3 days of the diet are really hard. But, by day 4 it gets better. I'm halfway through and now I barely feel hungry and I'm just around 800-1100 cals per day. Anybody who says fat people don't have willpower is wrong! Lol you got this!!!

Oh and what I have found works for me is Twinings Purely Peppermint Naturally Decaf. I do a cup every afternoon and evening. It's really yummy! And peppermint is a natural appetite suppressant!

Wow we're all so close in our dates! I haven't started a pre op diet/liquid diet yet... Haven't been told to do so. My pre surgery testing and nutrition class is on Monday, exactly a wk b4 my surgery. I think I start then... I wonder why some ppl have 2wk pre op diets, some have 1 wk diets & some don't diet at all.

      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.
