One more week until our new lives! I hope everyone is doing well. This weekend I was a little nervous that I WASN'T nervous. I have this incredible peace and calmness about me. I am well prepared. I have an awesome surgeon and a great medical team. They have done a super job in educating, informing, motivating, and preparing me to change my life. After reading some many people's comments and threads on Bariatric Pal, I am so glad I chose Hanneman Hospital in Philadelphia! They will not let you get the surgery unless you truly understand all of the stages, the risks, what to expect, etc. Perhaps that is why I have this peacefulness surrounding me. I am SURE I won't feel the same this upcoming weekend!

Stay focused everyone! We have worked hard so far. Let's do this right!

      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.
