Last night I invited my sisters and their husbands out for what I called my last supper. My 2 week pre-op begins today... And all day yesterday I had the feeling that I was going away somewhere like an extended trip or moving out of town, it was the strangest thing. I woke up this morning with stomach in knots but totally purpose driven. I can't believe after all this time I'm 2 weeks out.

I'm hoping that's the case, that it gets easier over time ... What sucks major is that we're having Valentine's Day parties tomorrow (I teach) and I've been begging my kids not to bring me anything ... But I know chocolate will surround me haha

I vividly remember the last day before starting my rigorous 1 month pre-surgery liver shrinking weight loss program. For lunch I went to Cici's pizza chowing down on the "all you can eat buffet, and for supper I showed up at Furr's Cafeteria and had their all you can eat buffet. I had a chicken fried steak, pan fries, coconut pie, jalapeno cornbread, mashed potatoes, and a diet coke :) . I went out with a bang. Now, 6 months later, most of that type of food doesn't even interest me. I don't miss it, but I'm glad I got it out of my system. I haven't had a carbonated drink since then either

Where did you go? Brazilian steakhouse for me. Good luck with pre-op. The liquids really help control cravings so even if you weren't asked to do liquid, give it a shot!

This weekend I will have my last supper before pre surgery diet. I am not sure what I will have but I will cheat a little I am sure. It will probably have bread and gravy as part of it.

I think all of us got that feeling (: it is quite an adjustment and a trial and error process but I promise, it will all be worth it!

Did you have your surgery yet?

Last night I invited my sisters and their husbands out for what I called my last supper. My 2 week pre-op begins today... And all day yesterday I had the feeling that I was going away somewhere like an extended trip or moving out of town, it was the strangest thing. I woke up this morning with stomach in knots but totally purpose driven. I can't believe after all this time I'm 2 weeks out.

Congratulations!!!

I went to Outback Steakhouse (I'm a fiend for their chicken pasta), added a little steak, some wings, a few drinks... It was awesome. My first day I decided to do all liquids and so far so good

      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.
