Recommended Posts

So, it's down to the wire here! I pretty much only have today and tomorrow to get ready as I have classes and and a bowel prep to do Tuesday.

So, who's changing their lives with me?? I'm so excited, and can't believe the time is already here!

I'm actually exactly 2 weeks behind you. I start the dreaded pre-op diet in the 19th. Good luck on your surgery. I will likely be following your journey pretty closely since you're so close to mine. Maybe I won't be so apprehensive if I see someone a little ahead of me on the journey!

The 2 week diet isn't nearly as bad as it seems, I promise! Although the last 2 days I do feel like all the food in my house is yelling at me to eat it! But as long as I stay on top of getting lots of Protein in, I haven't really been that hungry.

It's not bad, I promise! And yes, my. Best friend is ahead of me on this journey by about 2 months. It's nice to see her and be able to ask her stuff. If you have any questions or need to vent, feel free! :)

      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.
