Rockstar!!! Any words of encouragement for us pre-op peeps?

Best I can offer you is this- Stick to the plan. It works. Like every other bariatric patient before me, I worried that I would be the one it DID NOT work for. Lol. Impossible! As long as you stick to it! Eat to live, not live to eat. And your body will do what it is supposed to. Don't rush the transitions of food to see if you can. Take your time. And when you get far enough out- keep to that 1/2 cup of food! One or two extra bites will lead to 3-4 and you will stretch your pouch sooner.

Don't wallow in self pity. Get up and move as fast as you can- walk walk walk!

Good luck in your journey. I still have 60 to go, but my surgeon told me the "sweet spot" of weight loss post op is between months 3-9 so I'm OWNING these next 6 months!!!

Thank you for the advice - I have 2 days to go before my op and it seems that i am like everyone else in that I am expecting to be the one it doesn't work on. I am trying to remain single minded and not freak out and just let it happen. Yeh, easier said than done some days.

      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.
