Right now all I am doing to prepare is wrapping up the financial paper work, looking at flights, and waiting from Ishi, my facilitator to send my pre op diet. I went through Beliteweight.com with Dr. Jose Rodriquez, and I will say it was the only place I could find that would finance me with my lower credit score. I will be in a real hospital, the Star Medica in Juarez versus a surgery facility, one of my requirements...

June 24 in north jersey

2 week pre op diet of 2 shakes and liquids and one lean meal a day

I am easing into that by starting now with leaner meals then replacing lunch with a shake then ease further and further.

The anxiety is heaviest when I am home and not working like today. When I am working I can manage to distract myself

My date for sleeve is June 17. I have not met. With the dr yet for final pre-op diet. Hope it is a short one! Sounds like it can run the gambit from 1 month to only a day out! Keeping my fingers crossed. I do have shakes bought and am trying to get used to those. Gotta admit... They are not so tasty.

I put the Jello in the shake and added Ice and iput it in the blender, make it tasty

I have purchased some SF pudding jellos, different flavors. I was told these and SF syrups are also helpful. I have purchased various flavors and will experiment t with both the pudding and syrups after my surgery. I hear our tastes change drastically so will wait until post op to play with the various options. Anything has to be better then just the plain Protein Drink. Ha!

Just got my chike sample pack in mail. Waiting on Unjury sample pack now. Everyone on other boards love the unjury unflavored powder. I also have tried other shakes. I have used Soymilk (no off brand or its still bad) to add to my shakes. It tastes so good. It's like a shake from sonic. The soy is sweeter and a whole lot healthier. Never thought I would ever try soy but I did and now I love it in everything. Even my daughter loves it in Cereal and coffee instead of buying sweetened cereals. Now we have healthy cereal for her and she gets sweet taste from soy milk.

      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.
