Day 13 of my 14-day pre-op liquid diet. I cannot believe I've made it. I've gotten through 3 take out office lunches and yesterday there was a huge brunch spread.

Today I picked up my post-op liquid tylenol w/codeine and pepcid.

My surgery is Monday and I'm supposed to be at the hospital for 6am.

I'm just....ready.

I'm proud of you, very proud

My date is March 12. Started my two weeks of liquid Protein Shakes on Thursday and am SO HUNGRY! 3 down, 11 to go. I am really struggling. But I haven't cheated yet. Trying to stay strong.

I am scheduled for Vsg on March 5. This is my second time going for the same surgery because 6 months ago I went into surgery to have the vertical sleeve gastrectomy and woke up to be diagnosed with a tumor on my liver. I then had to undergo a surgery by a liver specialist as well as several other complications to follow. So I am a little nervous about the surgery ....more eager than nervous about it finally happening. I believe that this is meant to be for me and I have faith that my God wouldn't have allowed me to be approved and released to have surgery again if it wasn't meant to be.

I am struggling with my preop diet but will have to force myself to be good because I want to decrease any chances that I wake up on March 5 without being sleeved due to something that I could have controlled.

I'm sceduled for March 20th. I start my liquid on the 6th and see the nutritionist on the 5th. I'm afraid they'll be upset because I've gained 6 pounds since I saw her last in early December. Christmas really threw me off and I stopped trying as hard and couldn't get back on track. Now every time I'm hungry I feel guilty. Do you think I'll still get the surgery? I don't know why I'm such a nervous wreck.

      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.
