I think I will be a late July as well! I just received insurance approval and go for my stress test this week, which is the last thing I need to complete before I get a date. A few weeks ago they were scheduling in June but I think by the end of this week I will end up in late July. I'm getting really excited and can't wait to get it over with! I am hearing different things about the pre-op diet. I have not met with my surgeon yet to get the actual directions so I am not 100% what that will involve. I hear some are a week on a liquid diet to shrink the liver and I hear others say they were put on a 24 hour. Does anyone know if this is something that is determined by each person's physical condition prior to surgery or just a surgeons choice for all their patients?

Good luck to everyone and I hope to get to know you all better!

I'm tentatively scheduled for July 16th. I guess they expect to get the insurance approval by then, so I'm psyching myself up for that date :smile2: 116 pounds from now I'll be a happy girl!

      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.
