It will be the best thing u have ever done. Stay strong and keep focus- and just do it one day at a time. Remember to go somewhere u have never been u must first do wat u have never done... Good luck

My surgery is scheduled for May 25 as well. Day 4 into my liquid diet, cranky as hell but I'm managing. Not tempted by food but my head hurts. I feel bad for hubby and kids. The weekends will be the toughest. May 22 will be tough as well, a double bday I can't miss. My mom and my brothers. We are having a potluck, I'll tell them I ate a lot at home while I was cooking :)

Hope your liquid diet is going well.

Just got word today that I'm the 25 th too! This is day 7 of my 2 week diet. I'm ready for this part to be over for sure! Do either of you have small children? I am a stay at home mom with no babysitter options. Not sure how I'm going to keep my 2 year old off of me when I get home?

I have 3 children and the youngest is 3. Since I'm off work for the summer (I'm a para educator and school will be out) I won't have baby sitter either. Honestly I don't think the actual incision will be what bothers us. I hear it's more pain from the actual stomach. But idk I haven't had it yet to know lol

At least we know we aren't alone, we can sympathize with each other!

      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.
