On pre-op diet for two days, I'm doing okay, but my friend (who doesn't know) pointed out my hands were shaking when handing her a coffee. Must be the carb/sugar withdrawal. I just told her I'm doing a "cleanse". Almost everyone I know is on some type of diet, so it's easy to disguise my motives. My cravings are the worst at night. 5 more days. Thank god for sugarfree pudding.

I'm scheduled for Mon Jan 18! Anyone out there having it that day?

Thankfully my insurance required nothing but a 40+ BMI over a 5 year period. No dieting required. I had the endoscopy, a sleep study just as a precaution.Saw the nutritionist, attended a Nutrition class and did the psych counseling require by my surgeon, I am now approved and ready to go. I know some of you have been waiting for months,

I'm getting pretty nervous, I worry most about dying during surgery! Silly I know but I am always that one that thinks it will happen to them since the percentage is so low! :-/

Start liquids and Protein powder on Monday. Just have to do it for a week. I'm not stressing on that, I am stressing on when I get home and not screwing up. I keep hearing Small sips every 10 mins. Trying to figure out the definition of small is freaking me out. I guess it is maybe trial and error. One thing I know for sure is i am ready to look good and feel even better! This is something only my husband and I know about. I want to keep it that way. We tend to be hermits in the winter and hibernate, never socializing much in this midwest weather. Come spring I hope to see some surprised looks as the socializing begins again. Thank you for adding me!

      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.
