You can do it. A small sacrifice for what you’ll get in return.

You’re so right. Long term success over short term gain

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm getting nervous, too! I've never had surgery so I really don't know what to expect. y team has told me what to expect, but I'm still a little nervous.




Also, are we the same person?! I've been cleaning house like crazy for the past week and yesterday I thought about how it seems like I'm nesting 😂


I mentioned it to a friend and she said she did the same thing before her shoulder surgery. Must be a woman thing! Also, this is my first surgery ever, too. 😬
Good luck tomorrow!

First day was hard, next 2 were harder because I was hungry and had a headache, but after that it got so much easier. I have not much interest in food because if I have to drink another Protein Shake I might throw up!

Mine is Thursday also. What do you have to do for the fast? I have the 2 week diet and then on Wed I stop eating at noon and go to Clear Liquids.

CeeCee I was also moved out of the Jan crew after my Jan 22 surgery was postponed to Feb 12th so I can have an endoscopy done first. I’ll still be following all your progress though💕

That's kind of how I feel, too. I'm kind of nervous, but more than anything I just want to be post-op.

      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.
