Wow amazing after so much time and effort I'll be going into hospital tomorrow morning...exactly 24 hours I'll be at the hospital.

Will be spending today washing and packing everything I need to take, getting a little anxious just hope everything goes smoothly and the recovery is not too hard..

I've done so good I did my own preop diet for 9 weeks just cut out all sugar; junk; and went high Protein low carbs low fats.

I'm officially down from highest weight of 322 and today I'm 258lbs 😀

I assume I'll take on some gas weight but still I'm so happy I'm aiming to get below 200.

My ultimate end goal would be 180-190lbs :)

But I'm really hoping this bypass will fix a lot of my medical issues as well..

getting excited and that 2020 will be a whole new year and new life for me :D

this may BE my last post as preop and in hospital I'll be going dark no INTERNET while I'm in hospital just decided I want to take the time TO concentrate on myself and my recovery so you may not hear from me until I return from hospital which could be a few days maybe more...

Here in Australia the surgeon won't allow me to leave until I'm doing everything properly and feeling good... Thank you again to everyone and their kind words thus far!!

Good luck! It will go well. I remember the day before, I was on autopilot and just went through the process that I'd rehearsed in my mind before hand. Before you know it, you will be on the losers bench. 👍

Good luck, Mikeyy! You'll be a champ, I'm sure. You've done all your homework by visiting here, and knowing what to expect takes a lot of fear of the unknown away.

      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.
