I started my journey in Feb. and am scheduled for June 24th with preop on June 19th. I guess I should be nervous but am not. I am so excited to be starting my new life in less than 2 weeks. I am doing well with the preop diet as my surgeon allows 1 small meal a day. Congrats and good luck to all June people. :)

June 23 for me too! On day four of my pre op diet but it's not too bad. I'm just HUNGRY. I'll be so relieved to have a repreive from being hungry soon. Even if it's only a few months of not being hungry.

I've bought some awesome cookbooks and a protien shake book on my Kindle. Amazon.com has some really good stuff on WLS diets and recipies.

I just can't wait to look down and see less of me.

It's a life changing experience and to help you if I can....think about how much your life will change for sure.

We have been in these overweight bodies so long that when these are taken away we will be thin and that is scary.

It's like getting a new pair of shoes. We have the old ones that are so comfortable even if we know they're ugly looking that throwing them away doesn't feel very good.

Deeward, i am only three days in, but I can safely tell you at this point, that if you do plenty of research, follow ALL of what you are taught, and be realistic expecting a certain amount of pain and discomfort, you will get through fine. So far for me, it is wayyyy worth it!

      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.
