Jessie, I am with you... I had to fast this morning, I mean skip my delicious shake, to have blood work done again. On the way home I would have traded my car for a cheeseburger! I'm hungry darn it! Is this how we will feel after surgery?? I don't want to spend my life dreaming about food. Will we ever feel satisfied again? I'm not changing my mind, but my surgery is the 20th and I wonder if I'll make it!

Kcamp- thank u!!! My sentiments exactly!! Thank u for understanding. My big day is Thursday so I start my 2 day bowel prep tomorrow (Tuesday). Are we ALWAYS going to crave these artery clogging foods or will we be able to control our temptations? I'm truly worried. I'm going through with the surgery of course, I have too many health concerns to not and two small children and a wonderful husband to live for. But it's nice to know that someone is thinking just like me!!!

I felt like I wanted to back out when I got to the hospital for my surgery on Friday...I thought all the thoughts y'all are expressing & more...I guess it all came down to if I want to live or die & I want to LIVE!

Yes, you will still think about the favorite foods you gave up, but that's as far as your new tummy will let you go. It's hard enough to just get down enough Protein & fluids in a day. The new you will be fuller faster & satisfied very easily. It's amazing & I feel so blessed to have been given this second chance at life.

Urkeelingme...thanks. that's what I needed to hear. I realize every 'body' is different and I'm confused as to how much Water were supposed to get in. I know 60gm of protein. How much water. I hope my brain and new belly will finally communicate effectively.

Jessie- 64 oz. of Water. That includes Protein Shakes. What is your bowel prep? I just have to drink the stuff the morning before and then no Protein shakes.< /p>

I hope we can look back in a year and say it was SO worth it... And we are full :-)

KCamp...thanks for the Water info. I can barely get in 64 ounces now!!! Geez!! They gave me MoviPrep to drink over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday. Oh the joy! So, needless to say, I'll be spending my 2 days prior to surgery here at my house.

Stick with it guys! You are doing the hard part! I was starving on my two week liquid diet. I wanted to give up too. Now I am one week post op and not hungry. And if I get hungry, it is a teeny tiny hungry, not like it was those two weeks. And my 4 oz of yogurt or cottage cheese completely fills me up. Sometimes I can't eat it all. :) You can do this!

      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.
