My surgery is Friday as well!!! I've lost 6 so far and I'm not sure as to how much I should lose my doc never told me. I'm guessing it all depends on the doc. I didnt have to start my liquids until tomorrow but started it today!! I'm kinda freaking out about my liver not being small enough!! Anyways good luck on Friday and keep me posted on how you do and are doing.

congrats on friday surgeries - pre-op weight loss varies and each pre op diet seems to be different. I lost about 11 pounds on 2 weeks of 3 shakes per day and one "lien cuisine" or equivalent meal - i never cheated once even with the fourth of july weekend in there - ha! BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!! :D

I'm scheduled for 5/23 and have 5 lbs to lose in 11 days for my pre-op. I'm also freaking out that I may not get there. I'm doing the shakes, and a lean dinner. Wish me luck!

So not looking forward to starting this liquid only diet. I was advised to drink one Protein Shake and three slim fast shakes for the first three days. After three days, I can trade one of the shakes for a small garden salad...... no small meals at all.....Surgery is set for the 25th..

      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.
