Hello,

My surgery date is 12/12/12. I did my pre-surg registration this week. One more nutrition class and a meeting with my surgeon two days before on the 10th. Today is the 2nd day of my liquid diet. It's not as bad as I thought it would be because I try not to think about it. I know it will get harder. I had to help set up a banquet last night. Soooo hard. But I did it. Good luck to you.

Hi, My name is Aly and I Live in central Florida. I have the same surgery date as you, but in Tampa, FL with Dr. Lee Grossbard. I am wondering how you are doing on your pre-op liquids and what are you drinking? I weighed in at 290 lbs. before starting the liquids, have you lost any weight on liquids? I would like to correspond with you as sort of a buddy if it's ok with you!

I am Dec. 14th also. I am getting nervous but know this is a piece of cake. I had the gastric bypass 9 years ago and I struggled with recovery. I had a friend that had the lap band and my dad has also and their recovery was quick and speedy. We will both do great! Good luck!

Had mine Thursday and I also had Tomato Soup with skim milk today. No Protein in it but it was filling and dee lish! I had my Protein Shakes, too, and I despise them already. I know I gotta do it and I will do it but I don't like to do it. I can't wait til I can have tuna fish.

Saw the doctor today, he went over what to expect in the hospital. Tomorrow I go to the nutrionist and she will tell me about my pre op diet that will start on Friday. On my way!

      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.
