Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking on these forums for a couple of months, this is my first post. My surgery is scheduled for August 22. I started the pre-op diet today - so far, so good! I am super excited about getting the surgery done and I'm looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me. Best of luck to all!

I'm also getting mine on August 22nd. They said they only needed me on a 3 day pre-op diet but, after reading so much on the benefits of going longer, I decided to start mine yesterday. So, of course, I've lost nothing so far! HA!

Anyway, I'm way over amped for this but, trying to play it cool.

But, I can't! I'm so excited! I have made the changes to diet and exercise, now I just need my body to follow suit!

My doctor gave me the food to eat on the pre-op diet. It's things like shakes and Soups that you mix with Water. It hasn't been too bad! I've cheated a little bit a couple of times but still down 8 lbs. My goal is to be down 12 by my surgery date.

      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.
