:rolleyes:It's been a long journey, I'm so excited and scared at the same time. I have been going through the testing and waiting process for almost a year and half. The staff at the Beverly Hill Weight Loss Center are the best.

Hi! My surgery is scheduled for April 12. I am currently on my 2 weeks of liquids....protein drinks, clear broth, sf popsicles, crystal light and of course Water. Lots of water. This is my 4th day on liquids and today has been a little difficult but I know I need to do this and I will.

Good Luck to you!!

I am slated to go4/11/11 (unless I get a nasty surprise on my insurance approval) My doc only makes me do liquids for 3 days before but I am going to start on Monday voluntarily so my liver shrinks down and my system is ready for the 3 weeksof liquids after. i am so excited and ready to do this. I am just scared that my insurance will deny me. I dont think they will but I know it is a possibility. Will keep you posted. Keep fingers crossed for me and good luck to all of you as well.;)

      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.
