I finally have a date! I feel like I'm being swept off my feet. I keep hearing the date over and over in my ears. I cant believe a year ago, I didn't even know there was such a cure, and here I am about to start living the healthy life I deserve. Its becoming real and I absolutely can not wait. I only know a few people who have gone through this, but I would welcome any comments or support!

Mine is Feb 1st, Ive been working so much that I havent had a whole lot of time to sit down and process it. It hit me hard last week and I couldn't sleep because my brain would not shut off due to upcoming surgery. Thank goodness I have an awesome primary doctor who got me in and helped me get some rest. 10 day count down had begun!

Getting getting pretty tired of liquids... everything's is becoming to sweet two more days and my world opens up to pudding, yogurt, creamy Soups ( no down 8 lbs! meal... woohoo!

Last two nights I

Cooked dinner for my husband... (not that I had to) I wanted to - to test myself to the max now.... and expose myself to food temptation big time! (Cause Ya can't cheat or You can harm your new little pouch! ...(possible end up in the hospital! ) I have got to change the way I look at food...my picking and mindlessly eating...to rid myself of my old habits!!!!

I can't believe how many times I "WOULD " of put food in my mouth.. while cooking dinner! It's was an eye opener to me! Taste here.. a pinch there!

I think each week will be a journey of what works and what doesn't fit me!

....till tomorrow!

      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.
