Wow, it's been a roller coaster ride to get to this date. Like thousands before me I am a ball of emotion right now. Excitement, pride, happy, fear, anxiety and of course tired. Had a great start back in November with all my test being completed and then came the preop weight I needed to lose. I struggled through the holidays and tried to deal with the stressors of work the best I could. More than once did I skip an appointment and mentally think "i can just do this on my own without surgery". I actually gained weight up until March when my NUT asked if I would try Optifast. Though expensive, it was the best decision I could have made. I averaged losing 5lbs a week for 7 weeks. So now here I am, enjoying this lovely clear liquid diet. I would rather be on Optifast again, lol. I want to thank all those that post on this website. I have learned so much from those that have gone before me and love all the support everyone provides. I see that no matter what procedure you have, we are all in this together. I'll post again post op. Thanks for reading!

      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?

      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.
