so my surgery is exactly 7 days from today.....nervous and excited all at the same time. Everything is happening really fast, but I'm mentally prepared lol. The preop diet is a lot more difficult then expected, but I do like my Protein Shake choice Muscle Milk Light actually really good. Nervous but ready, any addtional advice or words of encouragement would definately be appreciated......Thanks everyone :)

Dear Chellz,

I am a only 9 days away from surgery and I am starting to get a little nervous so I can understand how you feel. There are a lot of unkowns involved and that, I think ,is what is making me nervous. Oh how I wish I could see into the future, but I can't, so I guess I will just have to face forward and march! You will do fine. Take your time to adjust to your new lifestyle, don't expect sudden changes and look to this whole thing as a marathon, not a sprint. Keep up on the board so that we can all see how you are doing and good luck! THis place has the best support of all.

I am 9 days away as well...I am starting to feel nervous, anxious as well. This is my first surgery and first time in the hospital for anything.

I love Muscle Milk shakes as well!! Yummy

My doc does not require a pre-op diet, but my nut has put me on low carb etc...

I am going to do a 4 day liquid pre-op.

Good luck and since we are all so close we should keep in touch!!!! :)

Good luck to you!! I'm scheduled for the 24th and I must say I'm pretty nervous too...excited as well! We will have to stay in touch to keep each other motivated since we are set for the same week. Just keep a positive outlook and stay prayed up!:mad2:

I am on my pre op as well, but it's a high Protein diet, not liquid only.

      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.
