Hi Misty,

My surgery is 7/14. We can be buddies too. I was originally supposed to have the gastric sleeve but because of an acid reflux problem my doctor changed the surgery to gastric bypass. Let me know how your's goes. I'm super excited. My 3rd day on the liquid diet.

I'm excited, nervous, and just want it to be over with. I can't wait to look like myself again. I'm older than you, but used to be an active person anyway. I can't wait to go hiking, and horseback riding again. LET'S GO !!!!!

P.S. Misty.....we are starting at the same weight.....230. I don't know how much I will lose on the liquid diet, I've got 11 days to go on the diet. So far I've been afraid to get on the scales :)

      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.
