I've been working on this moment since 2014. It still doesn't seem real! I can't believe it's almost here!

Wow!! Since 2014!! You must be so happy it's here! Good for you, I'm proud of you and I've never met you. Lol

Well done on your journey so far ambernicole22! I am on day 3 of 4 of my 14 day preop diet and its getting easier. How much weight have you lost on the preop so far? im 4 days in and weighed in today 7 pounds lighter but assume this will slow down a lot.....
I haven't really weighed myself since Saturday I was down 8 pounds then.

I agree ambernicole22. We need to stay in contact. This liquid pre-op diet is beginning to bore me! broth, Jello, and popsicles! The popsicle part isn't so bad because it makes me feel like I'm cheating (they are really good), but I'm ready to move on from this stage. Will still have 1-2 weeks of this liquid diet AFTER surgery! Yikes!

I hope everyone having surgery next week all have good luck and wonderful outcomes. I have lots to do this weekend to be prepared for Monday! Can't believe it is here. Began this journey last September and here we are! So excited for everyone!

Do any of you have an instrgram. My best friend encouraged me to make a weightloss one since that's really what inspired me to finally take the leap.

She told me even if I helped one person who like me was doubtful it would be worth it.

My name on there is shrinking_amber add me if you want!

My husband is doing a picturebook for me as my weight loss begins so I can go back and see how much I changed over time. People have been asking me if I've recently lost weight. I've been on this liquid diet for almost 2 weeks now and I don't see a change when I look at myself, but I did get on the scale yesterday and showed a 7 lb loss. Now on a fat person, 7 lbs is usually not even noticeable, but I think like my husband said, I've lost the "bloat" look. So, I'll take it!

I just got a call from the scheduler for my surgery time on Monday; was told to arrive by 8:30 AM! Now I've got butterflies in my stomach and feel like there is so much to do between now and then. This is really happening isn't it? :/

I have this nightmare where I do my liquid diet perfectly and my liver is still too big to proceed with surgery and I have to do another 2 weeks of liquid diet. :-/

If it makes you feel better, I had a known enlarged liver from the abdominal ultrasound, and my surgeon said there are no issues at all with it during the surgery!

      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.
