Good luck to everyone. My surgery date March 13th. The hunger is real. This is Day 6 of pre op diet. I was a little dizzy and weak after waking up this morning. Immediately had applesauce' date=' a yogurt and slim fast shake. It made me feel a little better. It feels weird to not eat real food.[/quote']

march 13 for me too.

I get 2 shakes a day + 1 yogurt + 4oz chicken + 2 fruits/veggies

about 800 cals total at most. not too bad but I am hungry at end of day!

I finished my mandatory 6 month pre op checkups n all the necessary blood work. I was cleared by all the doctors. All I am waiting for is a call from the coordinator to set up an appt to meet the surgeon. After that we set an appt date n submit to the ins company. I hope I get approved. If I don't I will hit rock bottom. It's been a very long process. I just hope it was all worth it at the end. My Vitamin D level is low tho. Has anyone been denied because of it?

I am in the hospital right now, been post op for for close to 20 hours now. A little sore but not too bad. However, going almost 30 hours without Water is KILLING ME! I'm going down for my swallow test hopefully within an hour. After it's done, then and only then will I be able to drink. This is torture, the thirst is worse than any pain right now.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
