Congrats. I had mixed emotions when I finally got my surgery date. I feel sometimes mines was easy cuz I'm self pay and didnt have to jump through all the hoops insurance companies make people go through. Anyhow, I start my pre-op diet on may 9th, go for barium swallow and EKG on may 6th, surgery date may 20th. I'm so excited, i hope this next 5 weeks flys by!

You have nothing but a great life ahead. Best decision ever.

Tips tried and true as you prepare:

Read on these sites every minute you can.

Take your measurements NOW and then every month. Trust me you will need this later

Start chewing and chewing and cheweing now

Do not drink with your meals starting now.

Remove "questionable" foods from your home

Tell lots of people so you will have the support

Make a list of things you can not do now that you plan to do later

Make a list of ways you will reward yourself for the small goals and then big goals

Be reasonable on your expectations discuss this with your surgeon, our plan is usally more aggressive then theit plan for us. They have done this awhile and know what they are talking about

Prepare, plan and then succeed.

This is a wonderful time to plan for a long and happy future. Best of luck to you and keep us posted and use this site as a resource. ASK ASK ASK, that is the benefit of these sites.

      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.
