10 Days! it still doesn't feel real! I have been on the pre-op "optifast" liquid diet for 5 days now! Last night we went shopping for the post op liquid phase.. We read EVERY label that we put in our cart! If it didn't fit the guidelines we were given then it did NOT go in the cart. We read up on some mushy food items and found some surprising things that we WILL be able to eat and some that we won't be able to eat. Everything is getting real but it still hasn't hit my brain yet that after all the hoops we have had to jump through (including loosing 7 pounds during Christmas!) that is really is going to happen and NO one can stop it but me!

I have told my parents who are lap banded (one succeeded and one is not working at it) my boss, (my co-worker team just knows I am having surgery) and my 4 dearest friends. I got really good responses from EVERYONE! Some were a little hesitant since we had originally planned on the lap band but BMI's being what they are and having a great doctor who WANTS us to succeed we are now going to be sleevers! We are not telling the hubby's parents due to their response when we had just been "talking" about going to the seminar about WLS. The greatest response was from my boss. He just grinned and told me that what ever I time I need we will work it out and if I need anything to let him know!

My hubby and I have gotten to where we are together and we are going to get rid of it together! I am so thankful to have such an amazing support team sitting right next to me. I know I will never fail with him at my side!

      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.
