I can't believe that my surgery is on Monday! I'm the first surgery on Monday! I've been busy at work all this week so I haven't had time to get nervous.Yesterday I told my Co-workers about my surgery, I figured since they are going to be to be taking care of me I should be the one to tell them. Well tomorrow I will be Clear Liquids all day and as of today I'm down 15lbs. I can't wait to join you guys on the loser's bench.

thanks for all the we'll wishes! I think I over did it on the bowel prep drank 2 mag citrates I have been on the shitter all day and night sorry for TMI! praying that this will end soon. I've been trying to replace what IM losing hopefully everything will be fine cause IM usually a hard stick and am trying not to get dehydrated. My 7 year old started crying tonight she is my shadow and is worried for her mama. I have posted and left it up to God, at this point there's no turning back. Took a couple of Xanax going to drink my last cup of tea and go to bed.

      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.
