I just got all my test results and I am cleared for surgery the 22nd! I just ordered a whole bunch of small Protein samples/containers to try! I start my pre-op diet the end of next week! I'm so excited! Thanks everyone for all the information and sharing your stories, it is really helping me realize how I can do this, I can change my life!

Hi all! Me too, Me too!!!! I got all my tests cleared today and have a surgery date of December 29th! I'm really happy, but understandably anxious. . . .I'll be fine I know, but there is always that hesitation regarding surgeries! Doctor told me I didn't have to do the pre-op diet, but i told him if it will make his job easier, I would like to do it! So I start that on Dec. 15th. . . 2-3 Protein Shakes and 1 very small meal consisting of a palm sized Protein and a palm sized vegatable. . . Water in between meals and when I'm hungry. . . god I'm going to be grouchy! That's ok though, cause this too shall pass. . . . thanks guys!

Congrats! welcome new sleeve sisters to be! On the pre op diet. Get used to taking a chewable or liquid Vitamin and any other suppliments your Doctor wants you on after. It is easier to just continue a routine after surgery than have to start someting new. You will be learning to cope with the diets and that is enough.

      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.
