OK, I got the date, October 14. I'm so happy and nervous I feel numb. It's as if I was tossed into a tornado. What do I do next, what do I need, am I really ready, do I have the commitment necessary for this? Well, it's MyTurn to find out. I'm praying that this is not just my want but God's will. I hope I only have good things to report in the future and if things get tough you know I'll be here banging on the door asking for strength and answers!

Well I know how you feel, I just got my date last week, I am October 7 so we can go on this journey together!! I am feeling a little overwhelmed now but I am hoping that this will be a positive journey and that I have finally found something that will work for me. I am feel positive then I start to get nervous thinking of all the other times I have started out strong feeling positive and then hit a wall. I think we just need to continue to support each other and help each other through the struggles and we will get through to the other side of this. Good luck on the 14th!

      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.
