I wanna thank you all for being here for me during this time in my life. I really dont know if i couldve gotten through these last 4 months without it, because this has been the hardest

thing ive ever had to accomplish. I had my pre-register appointment yesterday and saw my dr also. Ive been on my 14 day pre-op diet and ive lost another 22lbs. So on the morning of the 4th, i weigh again and get my final weight before surgery. I thought the 14 day with just Clear liquids would be harder than it was, but it wasnt. After the 3rd day, i was fine. I dont own a scale but i knew i had lost more than i thought because my knees didnt hurt while

running behind my granddaughter.

What i have learned over these past 6 months is that everything is really a mind thing. I really dont need to have the 2nd scoop of ice cream, but i want it, so ive learnt to live with just the 1 scoop and im satisfied.

I hope that my surgery goes as smoothly as these last 6 months. I was told yesterday that i have a hernia that he'll repair while im in surgery. And that he may remove my gallbladder. Can anyone that has had a hernia repaired and gallbladder removed tell me if that made the recovery harder or no. He said that i would have 6 places where he's going in, i usually see 4 on everyone else. Idk, im just ready to get it over and on to the next phase. Have a great day guys. Cant wait to join the losers bench

I am glad your surgery day is getting closer!

I did not have a hernia repair or gall bladder removal, so I can't help there. looking forward to seeing your progress!

      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.
