It is completely normal to be nervous. This is, after all, life changing! But I know we are all prepared for that or we wouldn't be here, right? ❤️

I am on the same date, but sorry I can’t help. My surgeon doesn’t require it.  Just the day before surgery. Can you believe we are only 2 weeks out?  I’m starting to get more and more nervous.

OK, so if you are the 8th and start tomorrow I think someone couldn't add and gave me an extra day ha ha. I thought my liquids start on the 26th which is 2 weeks exactly:) I didn't want to start on my long Monday at work.

My 10 day liver shrinking pre op diet starts tomorrow. It’s hard to believe I will having my revision surgery in 9 days. I am so ready to get it done and start living my new life. I have my shakes, crystal light mixes, sugar free Jello and broths ready for the work day tomorrow!

I usually do well throughout the day until 3pm ish when I start feeling that head hunger. I’m telling myself to keep busy at work because when I am busy I don’t even think about eating!

Wish me luck!

I did an unofficial pre op start Monday of last week but since I didn’t officially start until tomorrow I didn’t go too hard on myself. Especially this weekend when we celebrated my twins first birthday! I feel ready for this diet. I know it’s going to be hard but I can do this!

      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.
