I am on day 6 of pre op diet. I am allowed 2 meditrim shakes and 1 meditrim bar along with 2 cups of veggies a day. (only certain veggies- not potatoes, beets, peas, corn)
I found the first couple days i was hungry in the evening. but really i have not found it as hard as i thought it would be .....so far.
My surgery is august 23.
I have been waiting almost a year for this surgery. I can't wait to get it done. I feel my life has been put on hold for the time i have been waiting. However, as it is getting closer, i find the time FLYING by!
I am not cooking alot for the family much. Alot of grilled cheeses are being eaten ! lol
I find cooking the food not fun- b/c i can't have any!
I was extremly nervous for most of the year, but the last 3 weeks or so i have moved into quite a calm space. I only read positive posts on the forum. If someone wants to discuss any negative outcomes of this surgery (like my family) I tell them I have done the research for this over almost a year. And for the month pre op i don't want to hear anything negative what so ever. ....basically if they have not got anything positive to say...keep your thoughts to yourself.
It is better having surgery this way- in a place that is used to dealing with bariatric patients- taking special precautions with their bariatric patients . That way when i am older if i need surgery i will not be morbidly obese.
I want to be around for my grandchildren. I wish i had this surgery when my kids were younger. They would have had a much more energetic, healthier mother who was not obsessed with food! And could live as a better example.
What ever you decide has to be your decision and has to sit right with you/your gut instinct.
I was so nervous a while ago i couldn't even listen to my intuition!
I look around at morbidly obese people (seem to notice them even more now) and think to myself how lucky i am for this opportunity.
What ever decision you make will be the right one for you!
There is support on these boards with whatever decision you make. I am just sick of 25 years of losing and gaining weight back. I think i have lost almost a thousand pounds in my lifetime! Just happen to gain it back (and more) everytime.
I can't wait to live again...

if you are a big caffiene drinker now, you may expect headaches during the diet.. I had a 7 day diet, so I cant really tell you how it is after that 7th day but I know I was crabby and hungry.. that is different afterwards though.. so dont get discouraged and feel like thats how you will be forever. If you are able to drink your choice of shakes you may try to mix it up a little bit and try different things so you dont get as bored.. I think I looked forward to when it was time to drink broth cause it was the most normal.. if you have tried isopure and dont like t try a different color.. some are worse than others..
but most of all.. be excited!! this is the begining of your new life!

Thanks! I am so excited about it! and can't wait to meet the new me!! 
I've waited a year as well for this day. The only thing's i am really worried about is my iron because i am anemic and i also have PCOS and my hair falls out because of it. Hoping that things will start to regulate as i loose the weight.
