So itโ€™s getting very real, did my pre-op appointment today. Signed everything I needed to sign giving them permission to perform my surgery. I am only required to be on my liquid diet for 10 days. Down side(s): 1) found out that I didnโ€™t need the Isopure after ordering the isopure that my nutritionist insisted that I needed ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ 2) I have to take lovenox injections. I absolutely HATE needles so I have no idea how Iโ€™m gonna pull off injections for 10 days. I have ONE more appointment before surgery. On the 20th I go to the hospital to meet with the Anesthesiologist. After that I am all set! Oh and my pre-op diet is three Protein Shakes and two 100 calorie yogurts a day. Doable, I happen to like Protein shakes ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ. Anyway, that was my update. Sorry about being long winded, lol

Thank you! I started reading tips around the forums about the injections. Iโ€™m gonna cry like a big baby but Iโ€™m going to do it. Oh and I found out I may have a small hiatal hernia which my surgeon will repair. And very soon you will finally be completing your journey to your new life (hopefully minus the injections, lol).

Iโ€™m super excited about everything except the shots, lol. I will kick and scream but inevitably do them. I am very shocked by how doable my pre diet is. For the most part I tend to do 2 Protein Shakes a day (as meal replacement) anyway so adding a 3rd wonโ€™t be too bad. My surgeon is happy to hear that Iโ€™m excited and not scared or nervous. Says it makes for a smoother process ๐Ÿ˜Š

Iโ€™m on day 5 of self injections, and believe me I am a huge sook, but this has been easier than I expected. Have the nurse show you how to do it painlessly. The needle is so fine you barely feel it.

      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.
