Wow, I am really glad I found this group! All of this information is so helpful and is really going to be beneficial! I am feeling a bit overwhelmed today. Work is crazy and the next couple weeks preparing for surgery with the pre-op diet and appointments and blood work and everything else has my head spinning. Maybe I am overly sensitive today but I feel like either screaming or bursting out in tears or both! Ugh...I can get through this!

@kimodell69--I'm feeling that same way today!! I don't know what it is--but I'm making lists of food I need to buy (for my family) and stuff I'll need....and lists of what I want to get done before surgery.

It truly is like nesting while pregnant.

And I am SO flipping excited and anxious about the surgery--like you, I feel like either laughing or crying or screaming or all of the above!! :D :angry: :lol:

They are to call Friday with the surgery time on Monday. It's kind of nice that it's on a holiday because my kids will be off.

      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.
