I have not been nervous....yet. I am not looking forward to the gas pain afterwards, but other than that, I feel pretty good. I am on my pre-op diet now! So I hope to drop 10 lbs before the 14 days is up. I picked up a few things at the store today for my pre-op and post op diet. Next week I will get the rest of my post -op and focus on packing!

I wish we could do more when we are in Mexico, but with the travel advisory we will be staying close to the Marriott. Oh well, maybe next time we are in Mexico we can see more and shop.

Nice to meet you and thank you for posting to my intro! It made me feel welcome!

I really like Omaha. The winters here can be a bit ruff, but all the same it is a great place to live. Thanks for the welcome!

      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.
