Yes I am on there but as the name GIA (middle name) because I dont want my dysfunctional insane family to see my personal live on Facebook lol. I'm starting my liquids tomorrow...I ordered my favorite food as my last big meal tonight but ended up throwing it out because it was way too salty. Im gonna start on Premier Protein shakes tomorrow

Yep I'm also on the books for Dr. Illan on July 6th 🎉🎉. Haven't found anyone else having surgery on the same day as us @dolechild23. Maybe it'll be just us.

My preop diet starts tomorrow (Monday). I have to work Monday and Wednesday... not sure how productive I'm going to be considering all I'm going to be thinking about is my surgery... as well as being on liquids only. 😳

I think we are-we'll have our own little party then! I won't lie Carmella, I have become a little cranky with everyone. I'm surrounded by 4 boys that can eat anything & Im drinking broth and jello!

A forewarning is warranted. I'm having a mommy day today to relax! Actually I think all of the boys are scared and wanted to go fishing without me! Lol

      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.
