I just set my surgery date with OCC also. Jan 7th. Starting Atkins tomorrow. I'm scared about the required weight loss. I've been stable for the past 3 months but the moment I read the word "diet" in the paperwork from the nutritionist I swear I gained 5 pounds. I've done Atkins I the past and did not have much weight loss over 6 months. At the end of it my body was shutting down from malnourishment, and that's with taking supplements.< /p>

I just bought my ticket tonight for my mexico January 12th surgery. I have to go it alone since I don't have family and my husband is staying home with my lil ones. I'm kinda scared but think I can completely handle it on my own. Not everyone is going to have a support system.

@@Veronica Page I am going alone, too! I think I will be fine. I mean, it would be nice to have someone...but oh well :) I travel alone a lot and do well, plus all I have to worry about is moi. I am going to make sure I pack as light as possible, though. I don't want to worry about lugging stuff around that I didn't need to bring in the first place!

Don't stress!!! It's the worst for weightloss. Follow the plan, it works! I haven't talked to one person who hasn't had success with it. Even if your loss is slow during Adkins phase the liquid phase will have the weight coming off! Your gonna do great! Trust the process and go for it!

@@shizwiz I'm glad that I now know there are others who are going it alone. My only worry is coming back home and not knowing if I will be able to carry anything so I decided I too will bring the smallest amount of stuff I will possible need. I tend to overpack but i think two sweat pant outfits and undergarments is all i'll really need since I will be in a the hospital most of the time! I also decided to put off losing weight until Dec 1st. I think I was having last meal issues and with the holidays and kids off I know ill just eat and forget so better to start fresh and focus for an entire month!

@@Veronica Page I think we will be just fine :) I'm bringing face powder, mascara, and a few outfits and PJs and a robe. I tend to overpaid, so I will reeeally have to work on that. I went to NYC this summer and brought a fan. For my hotel room. Who does that?! Hee hee

Yeah, I have been yoyo-ing between eating healthy and experiencing Last Supper Sydrome, so I plan on full speed ahead after turkey day. I will probably have a few Last Hoorahs over Christmas and New Years...but other than holidays, it's on like Donkey Kong!!!

I meant overpack not overpaid in my comment above. For some reason I cannot edit that. Shoot, I wish I was overpaid though!!! :D

      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.
