Hey Feek.

A bit nervous but also excited. Excited for the future and being smaller....nervous as I always do before major surgery. Preop diet is a go....Optifast shakes are hideous...but I'm sticking it out as it's only for another 10 days.

How about yourself? Feeling ok?

@@novemberkilo how great will it be to be smaller?!? I can't wait to shop in regular stores like everyone else!! Oh yes, Optifast but it will be over soon. I'm traveling ok, just getting through it stage by stage. The future is looking bright though

I totally agree. You're almost there. I saw your other post saying you had a four week pre op diet. That must have been so hard. Light is def at the end of the tunnel in that respect....

      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.
