Yes.. I have started the dreaded pre op. The worst part has been the caffeine headaches. First couple of days were awful but I'm making it. I haven't had any caffeine and I think that has been the worst. However I was told to drink lots of Fluid so I believe that has helped. I also started walking an hour a day just to fill my lungs and pump my heart. I know my body is saying why are you punishing me lol. Anyways it will all be good in the end!

That's wonderful then! My appetite comes and goes. After work is the hardest. Just trying to keep my eyes on the prize :)

Tried to start my pre-op a day early yesterday and all was good until I got home after work. I stopped at fast food joint and gobbled a #2 meal. What's funny is that it made me sick to eat it; like my body was rejecting it and saying "no don't eat that crap" with every bite. My husband was like "see that's what u get"!

I also was STARVED after a day at work running around and then not prepared enough with something to eat, also got fast food, but was a chicken salad at Wendy's ... Oh well, wiser today, and am more prepared. The good news is the coffee headaches are almost gone. :)

@ db1982 What is the pre op diet you're following? I would like to start a 7 day now and follow that with the 3 day yogurt and Water diet that is required by my doctor. I think it will help me get into the right mindset and start breaking bad habits!

Try to relax and not worry so much, I know the plane missing is scary but your chances of being in a airplane crash is so unlikely, you are so much more likely to be in a car accident. I have flown a lot and never even had a scare. You will be fine, you will get through this and start your new healthy life!

We'll all be thinking about you, stay in touch, we're all here to support one another.

      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.
