Surgery tomorrow. Tried to keep my mind off of it today, but now I'm sooo nervous. I guess it's because my mom just drove into town to be here with me so it's becoming more real. My prayers are with those who are getting sleeved tomorrow too!

Will be thinking of you tomorrow! Positive thoughts your way! Looking forward to hearing from you!

Don't forget to take your 'before' pics tonight and measurements! That way, during stalls, you can check your measurements and see that you really are progressing!

Prayers for all the Dec 2nd sleevers!

I was supposed to start my two week liquid diet tomorrow but went ahead & started today. I stocked up on about 4 or 5 different Protein Drinks so hopefully I will like one of them. Surprisingly, since I'm so overweight, I am a very picky eater. Not sure how well I'm going to do on this diet! Yikes!

Hi everyone, I'm new here and my surgery is scheduled for 12/17 in Charlotte NC. I just sent a request to be added to the FB group; liquid diet starts on this Tue for me and I would love to have others to talk to on this journey...

Hello!! My surgery is in the morning, finishing my 7th day of pre op liquid diet. You will find a lot of really helpful posts here to get you through your pre op diet. Welcome and good luck to you!

Surprisingly, since I'm so overweight, I am a very picky eater. Not sure how well I'm going to do on this diet! Yikes!

I started mine of Saturday and it is going surprisingly well. I had enough time to wrap my head around it. I have found that I really don't like the Body Fortress whey protein in strawberry from Wal-Mart (my NUT suggested it). I also really don't like the Premier Protein from Sams (a LOT of people on here like it and I was sure it would be wonderful!). I have found that I LOVE Unjury chocolate Splendor. I also have had chicken broth made with Better Than Boullion paste. Today I tried the Swanson Infused broth Mexican Tortilla, and really, really disliked it. I also generally don't like yogurt but can eat it when necessary. However, buying the light versions, bleh. I tried the Dannon Light and Fit and the Dannon Light and Fit Greek, and really don't like either.

So far I am happy with Unjury Chocolate Splendor shakes, unsweetened applesauce, chicken broth and lots of Water. Fortunately I don't need a wide variety of foods.

      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.
