I am on day 9 of my preop diet and my surgery is a week from today. I have never wanted a Peanut Butter and jelly sandwhich more than right now. I just want some carbs!!! And it's my birthday and I can't even have a piece of cake. :unsure:

I just wanted to vent a little. Thanks for listening. :smile2:

Happy Birthday to You!! :unsure:

Hang in there! Sticking to the pre-op is important. I admire someone who'd schedule it during b'day time. Me, I'd sell my soul for b'day cake, with lots of roses. And lots of calories.

Good luck to you!!!

I'm sorry that this birthday is such a bummer for you! I know how I'd feel if I had to go through the liquid hell on my special day.

But just think how skinny minny you will be on your day next year! Remember nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!

Thanks for all your support guys!! I got through it ( I took a shower instead of making a PB&J).

Graywolf, I love the "Remember nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!" Haha, so true!!

It looks like I shouldn't be complaining now. After reading some of the other posts in the forum, looks like the hard part is afterwards!

Hi Sarah, my little band-twin!

I am so hearing you babe... I am at the end of day 8, and I swear to GOD all I could see in my head all day was a cartoon picture of a piece of steak dancing around saying "I am delicious! eat me! eat me!" ... I am SO over having no meat, no carbs, no starches, no sugar, etc etc... for gods sake, someone feed me PLEASE.

Okay, now that I've gotten that rant out... yes... we must just stick together, remain focused, our special day will be here in no time. We can do it, Sarah!

Happy birthday to you :-D

      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.
