Well guyz after all my whining and the 3 week setback we are good to go!!

Full Fluids

70 grams of Protein

64 ounces of Fluid daily

800-1000 calories daily

low fat

0 sugar

as FEW carbs as possible

this times 11 days prior to surgery...

May 23-June 2 Surgery June 3

I will be Busy for most of the week I have to go pick my mom up from amtrack on Wed.

Be at middle school at 3:30am on Thurs.

New York Field trip Thur, Fri, Sat, get back in wee hours of Morning on Sun.

sleep and recover Sunday.

The Field trip on the liquid diet may be tricky... so going to check out adkins shakes and low carb slimfast for that,

I am just looking forward to getting through this weekend to the Busy week and I think I'll be ok :blushing:

It still seems to good to be true... I know it's a tool and I have to do the work... I am just ready for a tool that will help me with the portion size and help me keep rolling with the motivation I have going now.

I know EVERYONE who knows me is ready for me to be done with this cause im so excited I almost can't stand myself:embaressed_smile:

Here's to a FAST 11 days!!

Kim,

I completely know what you mean about feeling it's too good to be true. I feel like i'm walking on a cloud all the time now and I can't really talk about it with anyone. Everyone that knows i'm going on a trip thinks I am going to a spa.. It was the quickest answer I could come up with.

I start my pre-op diet on Monday.

Happy Friday.

Olive

      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.
