I have less than 24 hours until I'm sleeved! I can honestly say that as the day is going by, hunger headache is kicking in from liquid no food. Today was my last day at work for 4 weeks (not that it matters, in there for an hour) and now anxiety and nervousness is controlling my thoughts of the unknown yet, I can actually picture myself healthy and fit! On another note, my mom asked me to cook fried turkey chops with rice and corn, imagine that!????I told my husband and he said baby don't worry about cooking, I know what you're going through, I fix something up....❤️my mind is a wreck! What did you post-oppers do the day before?

I actually spent the entire day making three different meals for my 16 year old son, doing three loads of laundry, cleaning the entire house, including changing the bed sheets, washing my hair, drinking three Meal Replacement shakes and 64 plus ounces of Water. Well as I was about to settle for the night, around 9pm, my girlfriend called and needed me to create a flyer for her on my computer. Yes, I do this for her quite often. She was calling from outside my front door!!!! Yes I let her in and spent the next two hours working with her. No, she had no clue I was having surgery the next day. I told no one. Cooking for my son didn't brother me because I was on a two week pre op diet and my hunger and interest in food went away around the 9th day. All the best on surgery day.

      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.
