Just got my surgery date July 31 with Dr. Marema in St. Augustine, FL. Very excited and nervous at the same time. My preop diet starts July 17th officially but I have started already to transition myself to full liquids. My surgeon and nutritionist have strict requirements pre &post op.

My surgery is in 4 days. I had my last pre op appt with the surgeon this afternoon. It's almost here!!!! Monday at 11:00am. I still trying to stay in the day and manage to get all my Protein & Water in. My dr. Said if all goes well I will go home on Wed. I am very afraid of blood clots but he told me that besides using the leg pump stockings they give me a shot of heparin on surgery day to aid in blood flow. The journey continues 🌻 To all this week's sleepers good luck & healing thoughts being sent!!!!

      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.
