One more day of Clear Liquids before the big day! It was a little tough. I can't imagine not being hungry ans only being filled up by a couple of bites of food, but I shall soon see. It's almost like a dream. Good luck to those having surgery tomorrow.

Wow teemarie

I'm sorry to hear that as I know that support is important. I'm sure he is just concerned about you and just wants you to be safe. He is probably also concerned that you may change with this change. However he has to consider that it was a little selfish to tell you something like that the night before surgery which just places added pressure. I'm sure once you are in recovery phase he will be more understanding. It's hard living in the bodies we are in wether its our fault or not. No one REALLY understands unless they have personally dealt with this issue. My prayers are with you. Keep us posted.

Off to bed, surgery tomorrow for my wife and I in Mexico. Good luck all tomorrow including my wife. My prayers are with each and everyone of us. Everyone have safe travels. We will have a whirlwind of a day starting in Ohio and ending 27 hours later by being sleeved in Tijuana, Mexico.

      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.
