So I have one day left before surgery....today I had 4 really soft pieces of broccoli...I'm wondering if it's gonna mess me up? I didn't wanna "cheat" I was staying strong but my family definitely doesn't make it easy for me to say no.

Living with my parents is also very frustrating...I know they're gonna support me but my dad (who has had the sleeve 7 years ago) is addicted to sweets. I refuse to be like him but he doesn't make it any easier because he brings snack cakes in the house weekly and my mom is terrible with bringing fried chicken in the house!

I'm working on moving out sometime this year but with my surgery Monday I'm freaking out...what if the broccoli messed me up! What if I can't take the Protein Drinks everyday!!!

What if I miss being a big girl?

Serious thoughts that pop into my head!!!

Are you on a liquid only pre-op diet? I wasn't liquid only until the day before, you will probably be fine just don't eat anything else

I agree that you should let your surgeon know.

It probably should not change anything, but only they can make that decision.

Good luck.

Let the MD know. Best to you. Sounds hard to be around your family right now.

      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.
