Been almost a week since I've updated. As this liquid diet is progressing I've become more crabby and had more cravings. I have lost 18lbs though.

These last 2 days is clear liquid and I have no idea how I'm gonna do it. I have this Isopure drink and it has a terrible after taste. I can only imagine that this is what gasoline tastes like.

Gotta get my bag packed. Still no clue what time I need to be there. Apparently they don't call until the day before.

@ Thank you!

I got the call the afternoon, be at the surgery center at 6:30, and my surgery is at 8:30. In about 14 hours I will be sleeved. I'm so scared!

But my husband will be there the whole time so that helps me calm a little. Gonna go get my bag packed!

I should have brought headphones. Listening to people slurp on coffee and chew gum is going to make me lose my damn mind.

      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.
