Don't over-buy! I bought broths and Soups and stuff for the hospital- -everything anyone suggested. I didn't need 95% of it.

Lose as much as you can before surgery. You won't regret being closer to goal.

Don't mess with food funerals. You will be able to eat again, but you probably won't feel the same. I no longer get intense pleasure from feeling full line I used to, so I can take a single bite of my husband's burger and be satisfied.

Find exercise you like now. It doesn't have to be in a gym. Find something you'll enjoy and stick to and start now (but you'll probably need to take a 4-6 week break after surgery).

Take this time to do your research so you won't be shocked when you stall, or you won't eat anything harmful. People ask the same half dozen questions every few days, so follow the boards religiously until surgery, and most of your questions will be answered before you know to ask.

      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.
