@cwish. Yes, I fear I'm reading to much, I just want to be prepared. I really hope the next two weeks go faster than I think!

I start Wednesday

So I'm curious, my NUT is on vacation. Your surgery is the 14th too, right? I was thinking I had to start today as the day before is all Clear Liquids. However I was thinking I could wait til exactly 2 weeks. Thoughts?

My instructions say 2 weeks so I'm starting Wednesday.... So I would say start the same day.

I'm on the 14th and my doc gave me Wednesday for my pre-op to start, too.

I am also October 14th but I am still waiting for an approval from the insurance. I really don't understand what is taking so long it will be a month on October 1st. I am so anxious about this more so than the surgery. Maybe if an when I get the approval it will sink in that I am really getting this done.

      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.
