So my son want to go to the state fair. This is the last week for it. My surgery date is Nov. 14th, and I started my pre-op diet of protien shakes, bars, Soup, and lots of Water last week. Would it be hurtful is I got one thing to eat while at the fair (preferably the onion blossom) or should I just stay away from the food competely? I already gave away my chocolate popcorn I ordered from my son's fundraiser. There is a lot of walking too at the fair. I should probably just stay away right?

if you have already started your pre op diet I would stay away from it just so you don't jeopardize having your surgery pushed back it is not worth it

There will still be food available after your surgery. :) Best to follow 'the plan' that your surgeon/nutritionist have prescribed.

Best of luck!

My date is 11/14 too! I will be on vacation in San Diego when I start my pre-op diet. I'm just thinking of the money that I'll save from not eating out at restaurants during that time. Good luck!

if you would be tempted by other foods/smells - i would stay away from the fair :(

you are pre op - IF you could have that ONE onion blossom and stop - go for it

if you want to show your "strength" to yourself

of not eating the onion blossom at the fair, thats cool too :)

sometimes abstinence is best ;)

November 14th will be a great day to start your healthier, happier, longer life :)

good luck

speedy recovery :)

So I did it. I made it through the fair without eating anything. All I did was just drink Water. Everything smelled so good but I just kept telling myself that next year I will be thinner and will be able to ride more rides with my son. I wont have that excuse I am to big to fit on the ride.

      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.
