Thanks this is a great idea we can keep each other going thru this journey.

My name is Sandy I live in the Chicago area. I am 53 years old and a nurse. I am 5'5" and my HW was 267 CW now at 236.

My surgery is not until 3:45 pm on Monday so it will be a long day that I am so anxious to get done with so I can begin my new life.

No my doctor didn't make me do clear liquid, just high Protein low carb. They said they know we will have to do the clear liquid afterwards so they didn't want me to before.

Ah! 3:45! I would be so anxious too! Mine is at 9:30 am with a check-in time of 7:30 am. Any later than that and I think I would go crazy! :) good luck!

      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.
