Yes, it feels good, but I am also apprehensive, there it is in black and white, something I have been working on for a year, is finally going to happen!

Also, my work is really turbulent right now - not job security issues - just really busy issues, I am scared that something will come up and I will have to change my date. If I try to be pre-emptive and change my date now, that just means that it will change again and again so I am going to wait for a month or so and see if I can stick to June 11th... My Mom just chimed in - she is on a cruise that week and can I change the date? - I am sticking to this date for atleast a month!

Hey all,

Scheduled for June 24th, all hoops jumped through etc, now just the waiting game. I was doing really well with preop lifestyle changes, no soda, three meals with a couple Snacks, Protein first, drinking all that good stuff. Now I am about 2 months away and all of the sudden feeling a little blah about it. I can't explain it-I was SUPER excited for the longest time!! The last couple weeks I've been slipping with not recording on myfitnesspal, but the actual eating has been okay. I'm hoping that it's just a normal part of this extended waiting game. Like I've read all there is to read (which obviously I haven't), or I've seen all the before and after pics I need to solidify this decision (although I always love seeing more!); maybe this blah feeling is just my brain's way of coping with having to wait 2 more months while being SO ready to just get started already!!! Anyone else feel that....at all?

I don't have a set date yet, but it should be in June. I'm so excited!! I agree you all- it seems so far away! I've just started my hoop-jumping and I'm sort of glad that I have something to do while waiting for The Big Day. Ack- I just realized that I might be on the pre-op diet on my birthday! Do you think they make a birthday cake flavored Protein Shake? ??

      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.
