Hey Jane!

I haven't been nervous at all yet. I"m sure I will be on the ride there. My pre-op diet has been good. I've lost 10 pounds. Today I went and visited some family and they were cooking out; it was hard to be there because im hungry from being on liquid diet for 10 days now.

If you would like feel free to contact me on aim - alabamahsports , yahoo - mobileracergirl. Would love to trade tricks, diets and just have someone there that also had their surgery on the same day. In 36 hours I will be at the hospital.

Thanks for the welcome y'all. This place is amazing.

      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?

      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.
