We'll today is last day of liquid diet. Tomorrow is clear liquid only. Mon 5:15am time to be at hospital, surgery 7:30am. Getting excited yet there is a little fear of the unknown just around the corner. It's been a long journey to get here, and I am looking forward to a thinner me to be in a new phase for my life.

Good luck to all of you! Im 7.5 weeks out, and already can't believe Im almost 2 mos. out. The first month was hell for me, but now Im back to work, working out, eating more normal and absolutely loving life. I played today with my nieces, nephews, and son in the pool chasing them for hours and I wasn't tired. You guys made the right choice, and you're all on your way to a new :)

      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.
