Monday is coming up so fast. Finished my last day of work. Today, I think I need to finish a bunch of house cleaning, make a shopping trip for last minute things, and I probably should start packing. So nervous!!!!

I've also suffered from some last minute doubts- mostly fueled by the liquid diet weight loss. Between my own dieting and the liquid dieting, I'm down 30 pounds. I'm starting to look and feel good, and people are noticing. When I tell them I'm having WLS, they're mostly shocked. That hasn't helped. Thankfully, my lovely family has kept me focused and reminded me how many times I've done this yoyo.

Woot! We just bought a mutual valentines gift! We ponied up some $$$ and got a super nice treadmill and weight bench! I invited over some friends and they assembled it for us. It's gorgeous! I'm all set for light, post op walking and eventual Couch to 5K training!

My only complaint postop has been about being plugged up...took almost a week to get back flowing again, and I just want it to stop lol..Other than that, eating and drinking were a nonissue, have no issues getting my food, shakes and drinks down.. I am enjoying the ability to walk 2-3miles a day on my errand days.. This surgery was far easier than my csections and gallbladder.

Omg have to be to the hospital for my surgery in less than 24 hours. Wow how the time has flew by (when I never thought it would get here) . Its been 18 years I've been looking into RNY and its almost finally here. Thanks to everyone for all the presurgical support and assistance. I'll update as soon as I can postop. We are having a family day today, going to a movie then swimming at an indoor pool, not sure if I'll make it back on later. See everyone on the losing side: )

      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.
