I've considered this my Yellow Brick Road journey....THe Land of Oz - My Sleeve :-) My "Wizard" - surgeon...who's fabulous!) You're right those "flying monkeys" (pre-diet voices telling me to eat and after) are going to be my challenge. WHen they try to derail me I will remind myself of the "Good witch Galinda's" words....."Rome/Dorothy...you have had the power within you all along" I will then "click my heels" and tell myself...."there's nothing like health and thin, there's nothing like health and thin, there's nothing like health and thin!"

Yes he was very impressive! On the day of surgery, he spent like 20 extra minutes talking with me answering my last minute panic questions. He also did my gallbladder surgery about 2 months ago.

Very knowledgeable! Very good bedside manner! I was very happy with him :-)

      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.
