ONE MORE SLEEP!! Surgery is tomorrow. I'm waiting on the call to tell me what time to arrive at the hospital. I haven't had to do any sort of pre op diet but I'm on Clear Liquids only, today. I will be drinking the awful magnesium citrate starting at 3 pm. At 5 pm I put on my Nausea parch. I'm excited but extremely nervous. I have a blood clotting issue so if there are any prayer warriors out there, I could use some prayers! Good luck everyone!!

How are you doing?

Surgery went well. I stayed an extra day in the hospital so my dr could keep an eye on my blood clots. I am home now and then quite a bit of pain but it is becoming more manageable by the hour. Cravings and hunger are still hanging around. I'm trying to focus on sipping my Water and walking.

I actually chose the date. My son graduates from college on December 18 in Nashville. Was not taking any chances! It's worth it:-)

Day 8 of my 2 week liquid diet. Didn't have any requirements for losing weight before surgery but I self-imposed a diet (ok.. Making better choices when I eat). Have lost close to 50 lbs.

That's awesome! I have lost almost 40. My doctor doesn't require liquid diet I have been told. I will know more Monday. I havent heard of any other Doctor not requiring that so I am starting it on my own just to be extra cautious.

My doctor doesn't require liquids prior to surgery either. He says it's because all the liquid after surgery is plenty of torture all on its own ;) I can appreciate that!

      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.
