I'm so excited for you!! I agree, this forum is a godsend. I hope you are able to calm your nerves and that everything goes wonderful tomorrow and you have an amazing recovery! I have 6 days so I'm just starting to feel what you are. I'm still on my 'high' from getting a date and watching the scale move from my preop diet. Good luck tomorrow!! Hugs!

Hi,

Well yes, I like that term, "Sleever". Sounds cool for a change. Too much stigma around bariatrics from some parts so I think I'll adapt that term with pride. Best of luck tomorrow and welcome to the club (like I'm some vet of 22 days 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.
