Most definitely! I've gotten to where I have to sit while dressing and only buy slip on shoes so I don't have to bend to tie laces.

I did have a moment tonight that I enjoyed with my baby sister who is my assistant photographer. I was sweating my butt off, already achy and so tired driving from the ceremony to the reception when she looked at me and said, "smile...and remember this is the last time you'll photograph a wedding and feel this crappy. By the next one, you'll be much lighter and have way more energy." She's never been fat a day in her life but it is so awesome how understanding she is.

Pre-op tests start at 9:30am (two hours away from home so I've gotta get up early). I can't sleep. I swear u would think I'm going in for surgery in the morning. I am so nervous.

Surgery - 5 days away for me and counting. Pre-op diet is starting to feel better - Day 5, but can't wait to have something other than the nasty shake I'm taking. Love the popsicles and Jello :)

All cleared for surgery. Passed all pre-op tests. Even glad they did an ultrasound on my legs to make sure the pains I've been having weren't bloodclots. All went well.

Leaving for vacation in New York tomorrow morning and returning Monday to get ready for surgery on Tuesday. Yay!!

I've got a couple of small sample packs of unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder and my raspberry lemonade crystal light in my carry-on bag. Praying I don't end up with a layover anywhere so it's not too tortuous. Lol

(**I don't have to start my liquid diet until 10am Monday so it'll only be a little rough while I'm on the plane ride home.)

Finishing the first of my three day liquid diet. I have to drink a special meal replacement that is full of sugar. It's not the post-op shake. Yuck. However, it's the only pre-op I have to do so I'll just suck it up. I'm a 33.3 BMI so no liver shrinkage necessary. I'm so excited about Tuesday!

      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.
