It has been a journey that started at the beginning of this year but, I'm ready. October 16 was the date I was given for my Sleeve.

So I'll start my pre-op diet October 2, hope I survived!!!

I am going to have my surgery the 13th and I have my nutrition class on Oct 2. I will I guess start my preop diet shortly after that depending on when they want me to start and when I can get prepared for that. It is really getting close.

Preparing to start my pre-op diet this thursday. I try one of the Bariatric Advanatge shakes today to see how it taste and I like it. So I'll buy the vanilla one and add the Capella Flavors to enhance it. Tomorrow I have to go to the Alexian Brothers Hospital to do my prep tests. So the journey is really kicksatarting.

I'm set for surgery a week from today. My pre-op blood work appt is tomorrow. I've not done very well on my pre-op diet. Worried about how that will play out. Have been super excited until this week. Now sad and scared about new lifestyle.

Oh my god I've lost 12 pounds in my first 5 days of my pre-op diet and I've even eat chicken breasts but no carbs or fat.

My op is the 16th so I'm 10 days away, I hope I continue to feel relaxed as I'm now up tip the op day.

My surgery is tomorrow. Waiting for the hospital to give me my arrival time. Its making for a very anxious day. I only had to to do a low cal diet for 5 days n then Clear Liquids for 3 but im down 8 lbs. I was really surprised at how easy the liquid phase is. I expected to be much hungrier.

      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.
