Congrats on your impending surgery date, which is just around the corner. But don't you have to keep on the liquid diet after your surgery? Or does your doctor not require that?

CONGRATS Cindie!

I remember the feeling of being extremely excited a couple of days prior... and the time flew!

Best of Luck to you on your newest journey.

Hi Cindi,

I'm getting banded on Wednesday too, in Chicago. I am also getting nervous, and the past couple days seem to have flown by. Planning a shopping trip today to get stocked up on all the post op liquids i'll need.

I've taken the rest of the week off work, so I'll be sure to check in here and see how you're doing!

Good luck! I'll be thinking of you on Wed!

Valerie

      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.
