I know there are a bunch of us out there! We're only 2 days away!

How is everyone doing with their pre-op diet, nerves, preparations, etc?

I realized this morning that I have a lot to do. Tonight I need to change out my closet to my winter clothes since I won't be able to lift anything greater than 5lb for 5 weeks!

I'm so excited for us!

I've been preparing for a couple of weeks but still don't feel ready - the next two evenings I have to be on top of everything. I'm not doing good at all with my pre - op diet to be perfectly honest. I've tried and I have been absolutely starving. Mine is supposed to be liquids with two fruits a day and that's just not working for me. I've cheated a couple of times because I thought I would pass out if I didn't. I'm really worried about the cheating. I hope this doesn't mean I'm not ready.

Chasidy, The pre op diet is hell. I get no food at all just Protein drinks for 2 weeks. I am 7 days now till surgery and have cheeted every day. I have spoken to my Dr about it and hes so casual about it all I wonder why I am even doing a pre op. But I eat whole wheat crackers every day around 4pm so I dont throw up. Just 2 crackers but its enough to get me through the night. What is getting me to sleep at night is the fat free sugar free pudding! Its sooo filling I love it! I eat "desert" every night at about 8pm and it helps me sleep. pudding is on my diet because I have an alotment of fat free milk, would that help you? When is your surgery?

      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.
