Tomorrow I start my 2 week preop diet. Knowing this will not be easy for me not only has my husband agreed to do this with me, but he bought me the cutest water bottle decorated with rhinestones and sparkles, which is perfect since I'm a sparkly kind of girl. I feel so lucky to have a husband who supports me this way. Hopefully other's on this journey have the same support. :)

Congratulations on the beginning of a wonderful journey!

And extra congrats on the super supportive husband! Mine is awesome too, although he didnt even think about joining me on the 2 week pre-op AND 2 week post-op I had to do..LOL..but he is so supportive and helpful! It is nice to have that extra support at home.

And you will find some awesome people here to support you also!

It is tough, especially in the beginning, but just hang in there and remember why you chose to go this route in the first place. You WILL get through....just take one day at a time!

Best of luck and keep us updated!

Best wishes to you! You will do great, I'm sure. My hubby did my one week preop diet with me. It was great. It was the beginning of a total lifestyle change for us. Does your hubby need to lose weight too, or is he just being helpful?

      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.
