Tomorrow is my surgery at 6am ... I'm excited but scared to.. I had to do the two weeks liquid diet so I hope my liver has shrunk in size.. Yesterday I thought I was going to have to cancel surgery due to me throwing my back out but I'm going to be in pain anyways I might as well suck it up I guess... Any advice??

Best of luck to you. Please take your pain meds after surgery , keep on your Clear Liquids, walk around to help with the gas and you will be just fine. I'm doing well, had my surgery on 3\8\2011 more than 30lbs down. I'm walking now, 3 miles per day and feeling much better. Take care of your self and god bless. Check in with you tomorrow.

      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.
