TOMORROW is the day!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow, March 11, is the DAY! I go in at 6:30 in the a.m.

I am super excited (not too nervous, surprisingly), and am so ready to start my life! The only down side is that today is nothing but Clear liquids, and I am STARVING. LOL...

Oh well, this too shall pass.

Please send a prayer my way. I'll take as many as I can get! :-)

Hi Jaybro,

Tomorrow is my surgery too. I go in at 5:00 AM. I was having 2nd thoughts over the weekend, but am now getting mentally ready.

You will be fine with the liquids. I have been on that for week now and wishing for something solid...

Good Luck to you! Send a message when you can to let us know how you are doing and I will as well.

Wow, congratulations to both of you -- big day nearly here! Best wishes for smooth sailing and speedy recoveries. It was all so much better than I thought it would be. I was just elated and to tell the truth at four months out I still am!

Good luck. I'm on day three of liquids and tired but holding on. Thursday is my day. Clear broth never tasted so good. **stomach grumbling** My goal is to have à skinny liver. 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.
