My surgery has officially been scheduled for May 17th. I start my pre-op diet on May 3rd. I am very excited. Did any of you have a "last Meal"? My dietician told me that she didn't reccomend it because I will be getting food back, but I feel I want to have one last really good meal before I start the liquid diet.< /p>

Thanks, Michelle

Oh yes... I had several "last meals" :) I ate all of my favorites the week before my liquid diet... but I tried not to over do it with any one meal. I know they say you get to eat again one day... its just hard to imagine with all of the restrictions being put on you! But we just have to have faith! Good luck with everything! :D

Hi Everyone

Im all booked in too. I had an endoscopy on Wednesday and the band is booked for the 26th I felt like a stalker requesting for a call incase someone has a change of circumstance and they can fit me in sooner.

Ill be thinking of you all and cant wait to undertake this journey with you all. Kim

I did the first part of my shopping today. Got some Protein Shakes to start trying, picked up some blender bottles, some sugar free Jello, and some crystal light. I want to start getting use to my new way of eating so I'm going to start my pre liquid diet diet by doing a shake for Breakfast and lunch then having dinner. I still need to pick up a blender. I just can't settle on which one to get. I also picked up gummy vitamins and Gummy Fiber supplements. Any suggestions on the blender? I'm stuck between the magic bullet, the ninja, and the oster my blend. Thx for the help.

My date is May 11. So excited. I only have to do the liquid diet for three days prior to surgery. I almost feel guilty. Two weeks has got to be tough, I know three days will be. My doctor said its to shrink the liver so it makes the surgery easier for him and keeps the liver out of the way. I'm sure by May 10 the nerves will kick in. I'm only scheduled to be out of work for a week, based on what their office has told me. I hope I'm not pushing it.

My surgery is set for May 10 in York PA with Dr Monk. I am very excited. But this 10 day pre op diet is..........not fun.

      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.
