Congrats to you as well!! And I don't have a pre-op diet. Just the day before surgery I'll be on broths and Clear liquids..( I've been going to the nutritionist for over a month and a half and lost around 20 pounds-maybe that's why-but then some still require one, so......:)

Congrats again!

Definitely SURREAL!! I've been kind of floating around on a "happy cloud"today..lol...but then I wonder if I'm doing the right thing! Crazy, eh? I've wanted this like FOREVER, and I've worked VERY hard to get it. So I guess it's just "nerves" and the reality of it all!! .

My packets on its way, so I'll know even more

Congrats to you! Im very anxious to get this done. It's a surreal feeling. :)

      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.
