Well tomorrow is my day 6:30am- finally! Seems like it's taken forever to get here!

2 week liquid diet started off rough but I made it-only lost 5.5 lbs for some reason. But I'd love a big fat juicy steak...

I did cheat one day and had an extra piece of salmon last week but oh well! I'm so ready for this to happen.

I'm gonna need a ambien tonight for sure!!

Thanks for all the kind words! Everything has been a breeze-well except the barium you have to drink with the GI to check for leaks.

Doc came in to tell me everything looked great and id be going home this afternoon. I did ask him if he really did the sleeve because I felt so well. He chuckled and said yes.

      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.
