Anyone getting any advice to make your process smoother? Like simple stuff:

-Walk

-Follow nutritional guidelines

-Start walking before surgery even

-Bring a pillow to hold your stomach when you cough/ride home

-Chapstick

My surgery is next Tuesday, February 7th. This is my 7 day of liquid diet. 3 premium Protein shakes a day and 64oz of Water. I drink a cup of low sodium broth in the evening. I'm also allowed sugar free Jello before surgery. I've lost 12 lbs since Saturday. I met with my doctor's yesterday and the pre-op papers were a little scary. But doctor's reassuring in the low risk outcomes they have had and it made me feel better. I was measured, pictures taken and given hugs by the office staff. Everybody is so supportive. Getting through each day fine. Only 4 more days until surgery! Excited and anxious but I'm seeing this through. No turning back. I've waited for over 6 months for this day. Our doctor's office has support groups, classes and offers you a mentor. Mine text me immediately after my pre-op class and told me she was there for me and what to expect after surgery. Very nice to have someone who has been walking the same journey. She's lost 120 pounds! Less than a year. She will come meet me for the first time surgery morning. Good luck to all you February sleepovers! I will let you know how it goes!

      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.
