Liz-zard - you obviously "skim" thru these like I do when there are so many pages to catch up on - I usually go back late night and catch up - I was at Safeway last night and my car got broken into - Bridezilla's step daughter was with me and all her stuff was taken including her HOUSE KEYS so I was concerned and filed a police report - especially since bridezilla is the po-po - she's big on following the letter of the law - quite anal about it actually~!

I'll be thinking of you Maria. I had the 8 am surgery too - at least there's not traffic on the drive over. You should be on your way home by 1 pm. You'll do just fine. It will be over before you know it. I have this Friday off so let me know if you need anything.

      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.
