How are you doing on your liquid diet now? I hope you're not struggling anymore. I have one and a half days left before surgery and now I'm trying to force myself to drink. lol

That is so exciting!! It's almost here! Best of luck to you, you will do great! Can't wait to hear about your success! I am doing much better, I took in all the advice I was given and had a nice stern self talk, lol. Had to remind myself that this is just food, it isn't going to control me anymore, I either want this or I don't. So I regrouped, reprepared and refocused. This journey is truly a journey, as much as you try and prepare I guess you never really are until you are walking thru it. Thanks for checking up! Can't wait to see your journey. You'll do great! Stay in touch.

Thank you so much โค๏ธ๐Ÿค— I am excited, nervous, but definitely excited.

This is all about the journey. Like Miley Cyrus says, "it's not about how fast you get there, ain't about what's waiting on the other side, it's the climb". Cheesy, I know. But true. This is all about the journey to wholeness, wellness and eventually bliss. I am ecstatic to see what happens in the future, but currently I'm enjoying the woman I am becoming.

I need to practice more mindfulness, though, I'm blessed regardless... Thanks for your kind words and I pray you have an excellent, safe and relatively easy journey (don't want it too easy, because the best things in life are worth fighting for). Ok, I'm done with the silly analogies.

Good luck to you! I will post as soon as I am awake! โค๏ธ

      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.
