May 10th for me! I'm excited and really not nervous at all at this point. I've been nervous off and on for months wondering if I'm doing the right thing, but once my mind was really made up - no longer nervous.

I'm officially scheduled for may 24th! I started my vlcd on tuesday and the sugar withdrawals are giving me SUCH a bad headache. but it's worth it! I'm on this diet for so long, I've decided to have one tiny saturday treat in the form of a fruit. it will be nice to have something a bit tangy. ????

This is day 5 of pre-op liquid diet and still doing good. No more headaches. Not really hungry but now understand what "head hunger" is. Saw a pizza delivery guy on way home from work yesterday and thought OMG how I'd love to have pizza, but then asked myself if I was really hungry and the answer was no. It's just habit that we want foods we love whether hungry or not. I actually think now that this 2 week preparation is good for me to get in the right mindset. May 10th will be here before I know it!

      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.
