I was down another 3 lbs at my visit today, for a total loss of 19 lbs since my first visit with the surgeon on Nov. 17. She wants me to get my BMI under 50 for the surgery, but she says she's confident that I can do it.

Hubby and I are sneaking off to Vegas for Valentine's Day weekend. I plan to be fairly good and continuing to avoid bread and Pasta and focus on lean Proteins, but I will be having adult beverages and not skipping dessert. As long as I stick to the plan before and after, I should be good. I will have 9 days of preop diet after the trip. Her preop diet is less than 30g carbs, at least 70g Protein, and fats in moderation. Clear liquids the day before the surgery.

She uses the Da Vinci robot. The plan is for outpatient surgery with 23 hours of observation, so I will be spending the night but it's technically outpatient.

I reacted badly to a pain medication after my last round of lithotripsy, but I don't rememeber what it is. I have a call in to my urologist to find out. I know I'm allergic to codeine, so finding a pain med could be tricky. I know I've taken hydrocodone a few times and I am hoping that it's not the one I reacted to.

So excited!

      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.
