I'm nervous. I just got my date today and I guess I didn't expect it to be so soon. I start the preop diet on Monday and I'm just scared, nervous and excited.

I guess I have to be ready. I am looking forward moreso from the break of work during recovery than anything else. It's been drilled in adnausium.

The only good funerals I guess I want to have is a sushi sake one. I am already in my presurgery diet phase at a limit of 1000cals a day.

Ready or not... here I come... or is it go!

I start my liquid diet (4 weeks) on Monday, so I'm even sitting on the bench for Thanksgiving this year. 4 weeks because I have had diabetes for 20 years and they want to ensure that my liver is nice and lean prior to surgery.

All things considered, I am super excited. I haven't felt the need to do any food funerals, although my "last supper" tomorrow night will be sushi.

I agree, December sleevers are hardcore!

I start my post op pre diet on December 5. I am really nervous about it. All liquids........... Truly seems impossible. But, I am going to do it. I've already kicked caffine and carbination. This coming week I am cutting sugar. Hopefully not going to have those headaches everyone talks about on day 2 and 3 of my pre-op diet. I'll let you know how it goes!

Dec 7th surgery for me. I am definitely freaking out about it but trying to keep my head on straight. I started my 2 week pre-op diet today. I'll be a couple days short of 2 weeks but I had to have thanksgiving. I kept calling it "The Last Supper".

I'm so stressed out and I know I'm being a complete butthead to people because after almost a year (yes, had so much trouble with multiple things) it's finally here. I'm not one to normally worry so much but it's the lifestyle change that's got me going. Also i'm worried I will be ridiculously sick after surgery. That's probably my biggest fear.

Definitely been having food funerals My birthday is on 12/6 so I had an early bday with my family today. My husband is worried that I'm having too many food funerals haha. I'm supposed to start my liquid diet Dec 1 so I'm gonna try to lay off crazy food starting now so it's not too much of a shock to my system lol. Good to know I'm not the only naughty kid in class.

Im with you on the food commercials... Lol. Then yesterday my dad bought my son fast food and started naming the items as he pulled each thing out of the bag, one after another. I got sooo heated! Ughhhhhhhhh! It's going to be a tough rode. But Decembers sleevers are definitely hardcore!

      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.
