I am scheduled to be sleeved on 9/3. I guess I'm fortunate that I only have to do liquids for two days. Good luck to each of you have to do extended liquid diets. I'm sure it's not easy. I keeping making lists of things "to do" and "to get" in order to prepare. Can't believe its a week away!

You are definitely lucky to only have two days of liquids. I'm on day 12 of my liquid diet, with three more to go after this. Surgery is Monday!

It's funny you mention your list-making. I have several Google Doc files going where I have a to-do list and a packing list. Plus I made a calendar of everything (when to start pre-op diet, when to go off my supplements, surgery date, when to re-start supplements, when I can start each new food phase, doctors appointments, etc.).

Ha, so I have a giant excel file that says what I need to do each day for the first month!

It would be an excellent idea to make a template with dates in excel to make it easy to track.. I have been writing everything on paper.

I used this Google Docs Calendar Template and just filled in info on the appropriate dates, then printed off the August, September, and October tabs (since those were the months most stuff was happening for me) and hung them on my cabinets in my kitchen.

I started Clear Liquids today (surgery on Wednesday). Had Unjury chicken broth, regular broth, SF Jello (with unflavored Unjury), Water and a few sips of Isopure. I have had so much painful gas and belching. Could it be the unjury? Ugh!

I am having gas and belching too and wondering how I can belch when I'm taking in so few calories? I don't know why, but at least you know you're not the only one.

Can't wait until this is over, I was at my sister's for a Labor Day pool party today and left alone crying because everyone was enjoying all kinds of delicious food and all I could have was liquids. Had a little pity party in the car on the way home, glad I was smart this morning and made my husband take his own car. He is still there with kids and I have been on this site for 3 hours, looking for inspiration.

Two days from now, we will all be sleeved. Wishing everyone good luck!

Yes, glad to know it's not just me! Today has been a little rough for me. Ready to move forward! Sorry to hear about your Labor Day. Things are going to get better!!!

Good luck everyone!!! I'm sure all will go smoothly for each of you. Hopefully the unjury will go better after surgery.

I'm the next day but won't know time until tomorrow afternoon. Ugh:(

      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.
