They have me on the Protein Shakes for 2 meals a day and the low low carb meal at night. I am sure they will make me stop eating Monday but I haven't been told otherwise. I was nervous for a long time but I realized that I was nervous because I couldn't picture what I would look like after. Now I'm adjusting to thinking that I'm doing this for the me in the future and the me now and who I was isn't who I will be and it's worked. I'm so excited now. I have one of my best friends next to me during and after surgery so it will be good. What do they have you on?

I also have a 3 year old the true love of my life he's the reason why I had to get the surgery because I want to be able to keep up with him and also I'm a teacher pre-k 22 at school I'm determined although the thought of pain not my favorite to think about my husband is like babe you had a child lol but still lol I'm somewhat of a wreck

I HATE the pre-op diet. He put me on it for 3 weeks instead of one because I did not lose any weight before now. I actually gained a little when I quit smoking. Today is not a good day. I basically didn't have anything all day because I could not stomach another shake. I have been allowed up to 6 shakes a day and 2 cups of non starchy veggies. And 6 oz of skinless chicken only when I am so hungry I could eat my own shoe. lol I have been grumpy all day but I talked to a friend who had the sleeve 2 years ago and she gave me pep talk which helped a lot.

I don't have a date yet, but my doc said that I'm gonna have to do 3 week preoperative diet also, I'm not looking forward to it. It consists of 6 shakes per day, Water, fat free broth, sf Gelatin, sf popsicles.

      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.
