Im sooo excited! I just finished the very last of my pre-op testing (upper GI barium swallow, blood work, respiratory, EKG, etc) and I could not be more excited. I even paid off my portion of the surgery bill. YAY!!!

I will say that for a bit during the testing, I got a little nervous.... because it finally became real. This is actually happening. After nearly a full year, Im *thisclose*. I start my liquid diet a week from tomorrow, which I hope goes by quickly! Aaand then I have my last face to face apt with my surgeon... then, its V-DAY, as in VICTORY DAY!

Losers bench here I come, baby!

      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.
