As I begin day 1 of the liquids I'm excited, nervous, and excited again!!! The items in the pic are a sample of what my life will be like for a while. I said a serious prayer today for physical and mental strength, and will continue. This is truly a journey! I'll do well, I'm sure. God is with me...His strength is made perfect in my weakness!

HW:325, CW: 282... Surgery on 8/08/16... to be continued...

I'm on day 8 of the preop diet and it has definitely gotten easier. I'm allowed to have 2 Protein Shakes and a dinner consisting of a lean meat and nonstarchy veggies. It didnt say anywhere that I was allowed to have sf Jello or popsicles but I went out and bought some anyways on the third night because that is when I had my crash/meltdown lol. Helped A LOT and I'm still staying around 700-800 calories/day, and losing consistently.

Are any of you starting your pre surgical weight loss diet? I start mine Sunday

I'm told I will likely only need to do a 24 hour pre-op diet. I guess I'll know for sure at the pre-op appt 8/4. Sounds like most of you have to do longer though. I wonder why that is?

For those of you who are emotional...let me just say, I'm beyond with you on that one. I'm also going through some situational stress, but holy canoli, I seem to be constantly coming unglued. I'm laughing then crying. I'm buoyant and then I'm drowning. I can only imagine what it will be like afterwards. Emotionally speaking.

My surgeon stated that it's to give the liver time to shrink, making it easier for them to manipulate laparoscopicly 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.
