LOL...I have been feeling down the past few days and I realized it's because I don't know what to do with myself now till surgery. I've been so focused on getting approved and getting a date, now I'm like uhhhhhhh now what??? It's particularly annoying because I'm sure there are things I should get done before surgery to be prepared, I just can't seem to focus ony of it!

I'm set myself another goal weight to hit before surgery. I was so focused on getting approved that my weight hasn't moved in 2 weeks. Gives me something to work on.

I also know that there are still things I need to prepare for but I need to organize my thoughts and put a list together. My mind is all over the place thinking about surgery.

I did too, but the scale is absolutely refusing to move. I think it's determined to remind me how much I need the surgery because while I was losing well earlier, I was doubting my need for it. And I have lists, I just keep adding to them instead of tacking what's already on there. I'm so scattered!

Saw the pulmonologist yesterday and he gave my clearance. I have a mild form of sleep apnea that he is sure will go away once I lose some weight. I have my pre surgical testing scheduled for Monday morning which I see going smoothly and getting the thumbs up there as well. My final clearance is with my PCP which is scheduled for the 19th and I see that going well too. Then the fun 2 week liquid diet would begin on 4/25. Getting so close and super excited!

      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.
