Any March 2018 Sleevers?

What is everyone doing to prepare for post op? Are you pureeing food and freezing it? I was told to puree approved food and store it in ice cube trays in the freezer- since that's the correct portion size...

Thoughts?

I don't actually do purees -- I go from Protein Shakes to Protein shakes+soft food to soft foods to regular foods.

I have a few homemade stocks frozen but I didn't want to do a bunch of freezing in case my stomach couldn't handle some of the items I froze. Some other sleevers have said that their tastes change a lot after the surgery so I didn't want to spend a lot of time making things that I wouldn't eat.

March 6 here!! Starting preop diet today. I am more nervous about that than I am the surgery...

Snap! I'm March 6th also. I'm 3 days into my 16 day preop diet, which is 14 days on Protein Shakes + meat/veggies. I'm finding it ok during the day, but a bit tougher in the evenings.

I'm doing terrible on this two week liquid diet. Seriously. It's so hard not eating. I'm so sick of shakes, I've never liked Jello or popsicles, and with a limit of one bouillon cube a day it's rough!! I'm forcing myself to eat the jello, but the days are just dragging by so slowly. I don't know how I'm gonna get through the next 8 days!!

I'm good with the Water. Of course, I spend more time in the bathroom than I do anything but the water isn't hard for me. I just feel awful, still, on day 6. At no point has this been easy, or easier. I keep waiting to get to that point.

      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.
