How are you doing? Are you getting nervous? I am nervous but ready to do this. A little disappointed that I'm not losing more in my 2 week preop diet.

I'm doing ok. Haven't lost a ton on pre op,but that's fine. I am starting to get stressed out-I still have work to get done before I close out on Monday. We'll see how it all falls in place.

I'm worried. I have only lost 2 lbs on my 2 week diet. I have stuck to it except for my sisters wedding last Saturday. My husband keeps telling me how proud he is of me to have quit smoking 8 weeks ago and now getting through this and I'm starving. I don't understand.

I've only lost five and I've been beating myself up about it. BUT, I followed the 4+1 plan exactly and don't go off plan at all.

I did what was asked and I'm going to keep

doing the same-scale be damned.

I checked back to see how you guys are coming along... @diamondchic there is no best insurance.... i have bcbs through my husband's employer. The surgery was covered 100% no out of pocket expense.

      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.
