Recommended Posts

Hi, I am having Surgery in the Morning, I have to be at the hospital at 5:15am, the hospital is 35min. away from where I live, I have lost 15lbs. on the pre-op diet, I am kinda proud of my self, I wished I would have did it sooner, becoming a band patient motivated me more, I guess.

10 days before my liquid preop diet i'm trying hard not to over do it but it's sooooooo tempting. Anyone ever sat down at a restaurant and ate more than they should have. All my friends were egging me on and I feel pretty guilty right now.

I keep thinking of how I won't be able to eat this much of this and that after surgery. But I am so ready anyway. Jumping out of my skin just can't stand the wait.

I have my date too! November 11th :scared2: Boy won't this be something to remember.

I'm really struggling with the liquid pre-op and I cheated the first few days but yesterday I stuck to it. I'm down 11 lbs since Oct 28.

      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.
