My big day is tomorrow! Whoo hoo!! I want to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you for the vast amounts of information, encouragement, and support! If I did not have all of you in my world, I think I would be very, very nervous tonight. I actually feel ok - just a little nervous, but mostly excited to get this phase started. Thank you for sharing your experiences, knowledge, and vulnerabilities. It is amazing to have this vast group of support!

It's been a 10-month journey through the classes, medical tests, six-month supervised diet, and long awaited approval. I can hardly believe that the big day is here!

Lots of love to all of you! My gratitude is immense!

Prayers, good thoughts, and support are welcome! Surgery is at 10am tomorrow!

I hope I'm not in too much pain! The post-op part makes me feel a little nervous!

But being on my way to a new me sounds wonderful! Thanks for the encouragement!

      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.
