Looks like I'll be bringing up the rear here! My surgery is 6/26. I have to do a liver shrinking diet for 10-14 days pre-op, and then a complete clear liquid diet for 2 days pre-op.

I'm so ready for this!

I'm June 27! Had my preop appointment today and started my liquid diet two weeks early. It was tough the first couple days, I find the weekend the most challenging.

My surgery date is 6/28! Getting excited but starting to get really nervous about the pre op diet which I will start on 6/14...Is it strange at this point I am more nervous how I am going manage on the diet then I am about the actually surgery?!?

I'm June 27 also! I'm on 3 shakes a day for 3 weeks plus salad veggies. This is day 3 of the pre-op diet and though the hunger is getting a bit better I'm pretty envious of those who are on the southbeach or low carb. I am going to stick to it but I feel like an addict going through some cold turkey withdrawals...

I guess we are on the same diet pre op with the veggies and shakes...although they said I only have to do 2 weeks of it. Soooo nervous about it. Have a few get togethers scheduled right after i have to start the pre op. How are you doing with it? Do you still have energy?

I am happy to report tht day 3 is almost to a close and I feel much better now than the first 2 days, let me tell you. I was starting to get worried, I'm a chipper person and don't like to feel grumpy or lethargic.

I wanna play!

I'm June 19th. I'm starting my own' date=' self-prescribed pre-op diet on Monday after my pre-op appt at the hospital, My surgeon only requires a day before clear liquid diet, but after listening to everyone here, I am going to do a couple of Protein shakes and a very small meal. I'm very excited. I have told a few friends (very few, like 5), my family of course (who are EXTREMELY happy for me), my boss, and a few co-workers. My husband's family will NOT be told. At least not until I have to. They will not be supportive at all, they would be the ones watching me like a hawk and judging me.

I'm excited to begin my Renaissance.[/quote']

Me too! please let me know how you're doing in the process of your new life!

      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.
