Lol... Barr is half of my last name. But yes I’m really excited just the pre-op diet I think is the hardest thing ever. Doc wanted me to start on the 12th but I figured sooner than later would probably be better.

Yep get all your healthy,on! You are going to do so good, in a couple weeks you'll be celebrating and shouting from the rooftops I DID IT! Now you have that lovely[emoji30] liquid diet to contend with. I told another girl this morning to think about of it as getting ready-for-surgery medicine, if it helped. And afterwards you'll be starting on the smooth road to recovery. Cool, isn't it? Makes me hungry for my own RnY! It's going to happen, just don't have a date-maybe MAY? I should know more after the 25th.[emoji13][emoji304]

I bought the premier clear Protein Drink and it’s awesome. Tastes like crystal light tropical punch

It’s great to be able to just share easily with others about what’s happening. I’m having RNY on 23 April. Just had my last pre op appointments and starting soft foods tomorrow. Getting excited that this is actually becoming a reality.

My surgery is on April 16th (less than one week). I had my pre-op appointment today. I am really excited. THe nervousness has subsided for now, I am in the mode of "let's get this over with" but I am sure this weekedn the nervousness will return.

Good luck to everyone!

      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.
