You guys will do great! Have all your ducks in a row, all that you'll need for your recovery so you don't have to run out to the store (you're not going to want to), have all your shakes, baby food, sf popsicles ready to go. Get yourself a heating pad, some Kleenex for the "sad" times, some great movies, an AWESOME Teddy Bear, some comfy pj's and a whole lot of unflavored Protein Powder. Now your set, welcome to your "new life"! Bless you on your journey!

I'm scheduled to be at the surgical center at 6:30 tomorrow. I'm not sure what time surgery will actually be...assuming 8-9:00?? I'm in the Middle East so my time is 7 hrs ahead of eastern time zone. I should be done while most of you are still sleeping.

I'm trying to get my last few ducks in their respective places. Lol. Bottled Water should be delivered later this afternoon. I already have lots of unflavored Protein (picked that up from the pharmacy last week). I have crystal light and a bunch of SF Jello boxes. I still have to pick up a few things at the commissary, mostly stuff for my kids while I'm in the hospital.

Hopefully I don't forget anything for myself. Shopping outside the U.S. is challenging enough....no SF Popsicles here. I'll just have to be creative. Looks like it's gonna be Dixie cups and crystal light. ????

      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.
