I also feel like my life is on hold until the surgery.... so many emotions and hopes. I can't seem to get anything done and can't think about anything else.... My surgery is on Nov 10th.. !!!!

I start my shakes on the 28th...2 days before my bday. I've already warned everyone that any cakes or dinners need to be done the weekend before...LOL! I am so ready though. I feel like my life is on hold just waiting for the sleeve to happen.

@@bhopeful tell me about it! Cool...We have the same date!

@@brittneywlsj - I have Instagram but I don't really use it.

So what is everyone doing to prepare for surgery? Are you currently dieting? I'm supposed to be but I keep using the "need-to-enjoy-now-soon-i-wont-be-able-to-eat-anything" excuse and I've been pretty much eating anything I want. :(

@JenSan120 - ME TOO! I am eating things I usually wouldn't, like bread, carbs, Cereal, milk. ..... Not even terrible things. But I usually am on diet and limiting what I eat, although still don't lose. But now with eating more I am putting on :-(

I don't really have to diet. Just log food for the past 4 months and try to incorporate better behaviors. Only diet I have to do is liquid 2 days before surgery. I have made many changes and am doing well. I am still doing a couple last meals or food funerals if you will.. my hardest thing has been excercise. They tell me just walk, walk, walk. But I walk a ton at work.. like miles... so I have a hard time doing other excercise. I like zumba and jazzercise but my schedule makes it hard to do a class so I try to stream them but then I don't like doing them alone...

      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.
