November 1st for me, too! I report to the hospital at 5:30 a.m. and my surgery is scheduled for 7:30. Today is my LAST DAY of solid foods---doc has had me on a very low carb pre-surgical diet, but the last day is Clear liquids only. That means prime rib for my "last meal." Hehehe....

Nervous? YES. Eager to get on with it? YES!! :thumbup:

I scheduled my procedure yesterday for November 17th!! 2 days before my 32nd birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME!! I have a lower BMI so i'm not going to have to do the liquid pre-op diet. I'm really excited but now i'm getting scared. I'm more scared of living this way for the rest of my life. WE ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH!!:)

      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.
