I'm pre-op. I have another long couple of months to go with my nutritionist and nurse. I still need my psych eval, which I'm having a hard time setting up, and then need an ultrasound on my stomach. I know in my head that it will go by fast, but right at the moment, I feel like it is drrraaaaggggginnng.

yes it does seem slow but once you start rolling those appointments out time will move. ok just move on to the ultrasound and come back to the psych eval. nothing you can do about t he nutrition visits then can only be once a month but just keep doing stuff and stay on this forum and start eating good by cutting carbs and sugar now...

It totally doesn’t seem like time goes quick and then boom, here I am, 12 days to go. There is so much to do, learn, etc. I often felt time went too slow and now that it’s upon me, it’s going fast. That’s my nerves talking. Sometimes I wish it was faster, because there is all this time to be in your head and obsess. But it’s also good to learn and get all those tests and be as safe as you can. 3rd day liquid diet. It’s not easy, but I know it’s worth it. Already lost another 6 lbs in the first 3 days of liquid. Good luck 🍀 ☺️

      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.
