So... bad news... they pushed my surgery out 2 days to August 14. Good news, that means I don’t start liquid diet until tomorrow. I’ve been doing a hardcore food funeral for like over a month. It’s to the point where I almost find the foods I’m choosing gross at this point. Anywho, I’ve been noticing the way I talk about the surgery to friends... I joke about it like “oh, starting tomorrow I can’t ever eat again” or like “it’s the last time I can have ice cream” or “in the future when I’m starving myself” .... they are jokes but not really jokes. They are my fears about what the future would be. Have any of you been having these fears and what do you do to combat them?

I’ll be going in tomorrow 8/1 🙂. Sometimes I miss the California sunshine until I remember those 90+ summer days.

My surgery date is August 12!! I’m getting RNY and am seriously scared. Also excited, obviously. My liquid diet starts on July 29 and there are literally no solid foods allowed except sugar free Jello. I’m going to be honest I’m having a serious food funeral, not even trying to watch what I eat. I realize this probably isn’t the healthiest approach. 😳😳😳😳
Hi Annie! Im August 12 too!!! Best of luck to you! How’s your pre-op diet going?

      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.
