Aug. 26 is my date. I'm nervous, and a little scared (I'm a big baby about pain) and not looking forward to being in the hospital...but I'm totally ready to start my new life!

I was planning to do the same thing! I was going to ask my mom to do a whole bunch of befores but she's really sick so i might have to suck it up and have my hubby do it.

It's frustrating to say the least. I'm to anxious trying to think about something else.

I'm hoping for August date. I have my last appt on the 14th for it to go to insurance approval. I'm staying on top of everything. My surgeons office has everything but my NUT consult. Currently they are doing end of July into August scheduling. I'm hoping it goes quickly.

Good luck

My date is August 4th. I'm doing the food funeral thing too.

I've been eating ice cream a lot too.

*evil-er wicked-er grin*

**I know there are no such words as evil-er & wicked-er. I just like the way they sound.**

I've been enjoying my food funerals a lot lately. When I got my EGD last week. I found out I actually lost a few pounds. WTH??? My metabolism is all out if whack. I can't wait to get the surgery and to start a new chapter in my life. Good luck everybody. WE GOT THIS!!!

      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.
