I got the call this afternoon from my surgeon’s office with my surgery date - December 2nd!
I will be on the preop diet on Thanksgiving, but I’m so excited right now, I could care less!
It just occurred to me that we’ll be on vacation with several couples for New Years, and I’ll be on the purée stage, how interesting is this going to be?

So Happy For You! Yes the Pilgrims had a nice Thanksgiving dinner but still it wasn't the Groaning Board the Average American Family spreads out! And on Thanksgiving you might have to stir a little pumpkin and a dab of Pumpkin Pie Spice into your Protein Shake, NBD- honey - No Big Deal- you Can Do IT- I was on a Liver-Shrinking Diet the Entire Month of August 2018. When I had my Bypass Surgery September 5th 2018 I had the prettiest healthiest Liver ever seen , my surgeon told me later, the outside might be 72 but internally I was 40 tops. It was worth it, that month of sacrifice, because it hurt so LITTLE when I got back to my room, I peeked under my patient gown to see Whether He Even Had Done it!
And I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT TOO. If you commit yourself to Success , you will achieve All You Desire! And Aunt Frustr8 will be watching from the Wings Cheering You On! Buckle Up Cowgirl, You're in for a Wild Ride, But It is So Worth In the End! So @ trinitysleeve , work hard now , work hard later and the world will literally yours for the taking . OKAY?😛😝😜🌈

      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.
