Day 3 of the 2 PreOp Diet is no joke. I'm tired. I'm hungry. I'm realizing how much of the free and fun time I spend with my husband has something to do with food.

It is definitely shaking things up.

I'm hopeful that I will feel better by the time I go back to work on Monday. At least have gotten over the lethargy and can focus a little better.

I have made that same realization myself and I am due to have surgery jan 22nd it is a struggle. Its tough when you realize how much of your day with family revolves around food, for me it is especially as a mother with three kids, all I do is cook lol and all they care about right now is "Where's dessert?!" "Can we stop by Dairy queen after practice?!" I just keep telling myself that this is a whack-load of stuff to get used to all at once and so much info out there and anyone would be overwhelmed tired and hungry. One foot in front of the other and you will feel better the closer you get. We can do this and I'd be willing to chat anytime you like:) maybe we can inspire one another.

I'm with you both. I cannot begin to explain how I've been doing this 2 week pre-op with struggles. I'm ready for this and trying to keep my eyes on the prize.

I'm done with everything I go see my surgeon nd the rest of the team Monday January 4th then I have my surgery on January 13th I've told my family but they don't believe me so I'm in it by myself bcuz it seems like my fiancee isn't backing me up on anything anymore so I'm in it to win it for myself by myself I just pray that I don't have no fall backs good luck everyone

I'm January 13th and before I prepare for my procedure I'll be praying for those who share this date with me. I'm having trouble with my better half all of a sudden. So I figured that some insecurities set in. But, we are moving forward and good luck with everything!

I must admit that it's not easy. I try not to be around my family when they eat. I'll grab a popsicle and go in another room. A friend at work does it with me, I believe it's easier when I'm away from home or keeping myself busy. What about you?

We totally should encourage each other. I don't have kids, but I have a husband who relies.on me a lot to cook and plan our meals. The last few days have been a huge shift. We will figure this out, be successful, and have healthier families!

      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.
