Hi lovelies!!

Take care,

Paulette

I'm scheduled for July 7th, 10 A.M., with Dr. Michael Hodge in Johnson City, TN!

I too start my pre-op diet on the 27th. It will be really good to have someone with which to compare notes.

Have you been to the July 2009 forum? Juniper is compiling a list of all the July surgery dates.

Paulette, I also notice that our BMI's are pretty similar, too. That will be really neat to keep track of and compare. I am going to send you a friend request so we can message back and forth. If you would like, accept me.

Heck! I never look!! LOL No, I will definitely go and start doing posts there. I will see you there!! :)) And yes, it would be fantastic to have someone to go through this with. What is your preop diet like? I haven't gone to my preop nutrition class yet, which is scheduled for Tuesday, along with my preop doc visit. I have a gist of what my diet is going to be and mainly liquid!! Will we make it? LOL :thumbup:

I am July 7 also, and had my nutritionist appt yesterday to discuss the pre-op diet. I am supposed to start it MONDAY. I will be out of town till mid-day Wednesday, so I will start it when I return. I was worried about it till I saw you guys aren't starting till Saturday. I figure I will be smart while I'm gone, but the shakes will have to wait. Staying with family I don't want to discuss the surgery with. :)

I am so excited. It has been a long journey, and I am ready to change my life. I am under no illusions, I know it will be hard, but I am so ready. Let's keep up with each other! :tongue:

I am July 7th also....they moved me up last week. I was orginially set for July 14th. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow...6/23. they want two weeks of the liver shrinking diet...so needless to say...i had my last two hotdogs today at lunch. i think i am just ready to get it on!! I am ready for change! I am excited but very nervous about the whole surgery---being put to sleep and pain afterwards. I am praying that God will keep me cause I have worked on this process for a loooonnnnngggg time. Now the time has come and I know he wont leave me now. Best to all of you!!

Hi Ladies!

I'm July7th too! I go in at 10, surgery at Noon. My pre op (2 weeks) starts tomorow - 6/23. And my "last lunch" today was tacos, lol. and a diet coke. Love my diet coke.

My pre op consists of no carbs really. 70-80 grams of Protein for the 3 meals. Other than that, crystal lite, Water, boullion, s/f Jello or s/f popsicles. Tho i can also have Decaf coffee.

I'm excited...well, i'm not excited about this pre op diet, but i am excited that its only 2 weeks away before it all changes for us!

Looking forward to all of our successes - please feel free to email or do whatever to share your experiences ! We're on our way!

      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.
