Well I was supposed to fly out this morning at 7:30a but one of the flight attendants felt ill so my flight was delayed to 11:15 for now. =( I'm tired but still excited. I'm closer to surgery today than I was yesterday! Good luck everyone!

Surgery tomorrow, I haven't done liquid diet at all.

My surgery is tomorrow at 6:30 pm. I had to do Clear liquids today . . . several cups of coffee, lots of Water, and for dinner, beef broth, then nothing by mouth after 10:30 am tomorrow. Why no liquids for you?

Wow! I wonder why some have to do 14 day clear or 7 day clear or 2 day clear or what you are doing or either nothing. Makes me think that well, if I have some green Beans or a slice of lunch meat and chew really really good, it will be alright. I did great today to say the least but I work at a school and THEY will have staff parties during tests Wed - Fri but I am determined to do it! They all know and have been threatened if they bring any food near me, lol!

I asks my doc about why I had to do a one day liquid when others have more days... I was told that the main objective is to clear the intestine and stomach, also the make the liver smaller... Idk I'd that helps. But I was also told it depends on the bloodwork and test that they run on you too.

      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.
