This Wednesday?

Yes, this Wednesday. Are you excited, nervous or all of the above? I'm glad I'm doing it before Halloween so I don't gorge on candy but I am kinda bummed to miss out on one last Thanksgiving feast! Ha ha! We'll be one month out by then so I might be able to get a little bit of turkey down!

I'm very excited but a little nervous also. I start my pre op diet on Monday. I'm glad to miss out on Halloween candy bc i love candy and knowing I can't have it actually doesn't bother me. I thought the same thing about thanksgiving guess we just have to wait and see how our stomachs adjust to food then.

I'm also the 29th. Love this forum to connect with other sleevers. I just started my pre-op diet today since the doc said I only have to do it for one week. I've been looking at different kinds of Protein Shakes. Anyone have a favorite?

      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.
