Yay! I found my April buddies! I am new to the site, please add me! :)

I am scheduled for surgery on April 11th. Looks like I will have a good group of friends to journey with on this long, long, winding road. Lol

I started the pre-op liquid fast today. 4 shakes a day, Optifast shakes (EW!). These taste nasty, but they're the only thing the doctor allows his patients to drink.

I've only been doing this for a few hours and I want a basket of onion rings and extra ranch. :angry:

cccv4,

welcome mad good luck! So you can only have shakes all day? Today I was tested, I went out to dinner with my friend and daughter and while they indulged in delicious looking food, I munched on celery and waited for my light choice steak meal to come. It was well worth the wait. I really want popcorn right now.

I am April 1st. Two and a quarter days left. I am nervous but so ready. Did some house cleaning and arranged all my stuff on a shelf in the pantry so I don't have to bend down a lot. Tomorrow I will pack my bag for the hospital.

Theluckydog ...all liquids? Oh man. Good luck!

I'm also on all liquids for 2 weeks. THIS SUCKS!!! I've been chewing on the same piece of gum for HOURS. I want that candy they had on Charlie and the chocolate Factory, where different flavors of gum resemble different plates of food. Lol

      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.
