Hi

My surgery date is the 15/09. I am still extremely nervous and seem to be getting more so as the days close in.

I am on Day 3 of the Pre Op diet and am wondering if I am going to make it LOL... I am not hungry just craving.

I hope everything goes really well for you and would love to come check in on everyones progress as I am on my own.

Good Luck :)

teesaa, amber, jusarte, princi, noforthefaint.........hope I am not forgetting someone.

I am exactly one week out...........I have my surgical call today where they will tell me the time to checkin.

I am so nervous today. Hard to concentrate.

Noforthefaint, I know this site has a FB page. Did you tell us the FB you started? If you did I missed it, could you let us know again or send me a PM.

Thanks everyone.

Prayers and good thoughts are with our pals that are having surgery today.

Keep smiling.

Surgery 9/14, Clear Liquids started 9/7. Down 17.5 lbs. feel okay, but tired. Started full fluids this week, gives more variety, eating yogurt, etc.

tried a Syntrax Protein powder today, "crystal Sky" was very good.

Get full fast. Was hungry last week, not so much this week. First post op doctor visit tomorrow.

No regrets!

Surgery 9/14, post op appt yesterday and 17 lbs lost. Started soft foods, tuna and boiled eggs, refried Beans, etc. with no issues. Only problem is I'm very weak, showering is rough and I have to rest after. Supposed to go back to work on Monday and a bit worried that I won't have my strength back. Getting Protein, taking Vitamins, etc., doc said probably because of drop in BP. Off BP meds as of Monday.

      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.
