I'm scheduled April 3rd. I had to reschedule my Feb 25 date because of short staffing at work. (I work in the ER in a Hospital).

I'm preparing for my Pre-op diet. I'm really excited, but a little nervous too.

I am scheduled for April 10/13 and start the pre-op diet on March 20/13. I'm excited to do this but also a little nervous of the unknown. I've been overweight for so long I am having a hard time imagining the results I will have from this.

Mine is on 4/4/13!! I'm really feeling nervous now!!

What worries me is that my doctor did not put me on a pre-op diet?! But I am exercising and trying to eat better to prepare myself for this surgery...

What does your pre-op diet consist of?

      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.
