The pre op liquid was the hardest for me. I suggest you get the sugar free Popsicles. And also the sugar free Jello. They were life savers for me. Just keep looking ahead to the big picture .thats what kept me going .i had my surgery last week and I'm on my last day of thin liquids. It's much easier afterwards .you don't have much of an appetite. Good luck

There's a hilarious (and a tiny bit sad) thread on this site where peeps confess their indulgences. It's called (something like) "Just putting it out there so dirty little secrets can see the light of day"

I did the same ChaCha. I think I'm going to get a mani/pedi tonight to calm my nerves a little bit. I am feeling so anxious right now.

I am too. I am sitting at work and can't even concentrate, but trying not to freak out lol. I did my before picture yesterday. I should have taken it before I started the liquids as I have lost 11 pounds (I don't think it really made that much of a difference). Cant wait for my first after pic :)

I have watched the videos over and over too. I never thought to see if I could get mine on video. Good idea. I did tell him I wanted to see my stomach they take out though...morbid curiosity, I guess

I definitely would not take zquil tonight. I don't think anyone sleeps the night before surgery. You will get enough sleep during and after.

To all my peeps that have surgery tomorrow: good luck and speedy recovery! I am so thankful for this group since everyone knows what I have to deal with and going through. Just took my dose of milk of magnesia , let the fun begin. Is it weird that I am not nervous and actually excited and anxious to get it done tomorrow and start the healing process?!

      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.
