94 days until July. Yippee. I need to meet with my nutritionist and they added an xray for my chest now. That's it as far as I know. Then it's once a month meet with Dr. And whatever they add at the end to prepare you for surgery. I cannot wait to start taking the pounds off!!!!! I am done being this big girl! A few days before my surgery I am making my own broth

flavored with no salt and canning it. I am buying everything I'll need and setting it up ahead of time for my two weeks off. Sf Popsicles. Coconut Water. Plain water. Protein Drinks. Whatever I'm told I can have during those two weeks. I'm asking for a treadmill from my husband so that I can walk no matter what the weather is. Vegas gets up to well over 100 degrees and is so hot! I can't wait till it is time to go for surgery. I have another surgery on April 11th for removal of my gallbladder. No more gallstones and acid reflux for me. Things are moving along but July seems so far off. If they push my surgery into August I'll be so upset! I am going to schedule my Dr visit in July early and hope we can get a date! Or before then if possible.

I don't blame you for getting things ready, I think it will take stress off of you later, smart choice!

      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.
