Hi!!! You and kjwen are back to back! That's nice! Will you have a preop apt first? How long is your liquid diet time? If you even have one? And where are you located?
I'm living in Dublin, Ireland. Started my pre-op on Monday.

@@countryrose Hi! So you have 2 apps prior to your surgery? Do you have to do a liquid diet? I've been told 10 days for our practice. I'm hoping I won't have to do it that long! Uggggh! Couple weeks for you! I wish you tons of luck! Where are you located?

I'm from Iowa, near Des Moines. I only had 3 weight checks, a pulmonary function test, psych eval, and then the customary pre op labs. My surgeon doesn't require a pre op diet (YES!!!) and I'm so thankful for that. It's coming up so quick!

@@claddagh66 I know when I saw the scale I didn't believe it haha. Motivates me definitely. I am fine energy wise now it honestly isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I've cooked for my family and had no issues not eating it I find Mio the Water flavoring helps alot so I don't get bored with water also eating ice so I can chew something and sugarless gum between those 3 things I feel like they saved me lol from strictly shakes and water for 3 weeks. I started taking my multi vit and hair skin and nails so maybe helping energy wise and I have an active niece that lives with me so I make sure to promise her a walk every morning she never forgets and never gives up until I get off my butt so we walk 30 mins every day just around town. I certainly do have Facebook add me Taren Matthew

4/5! So excited due to my BMI being under 50 I only have to do a 2 day liquid diet before surgery; however, I followed my wife's two week high Protein, low calorie diet before her surgery and I have dropped about 35 lbs. since Dec. 2015.

This is why we're here. To help each other. Are you on Facebook! You can friend me and we can talk more. Maybe it will help you a bit more. It's easier to use instant messaging rather than going back n forth on here. Your doing well tho. Don't give in! You got 3 days under you! Keep it up!!! Don't give up

      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.
