Hi Lynn -

I can't really give you and advice, but I can tell you that we are in the same exact boat right now.

I just got my surgery date and its on the 26th of April.

I have researched everything pretty extensively and haunted this website for some time (this is my 1st reply/post).

I am really excited about it as well; but mainly, just glad all the Pre-Op Hoops are done being jumped through.

That was the worst part so far for me - a never ending stream of appointments and "did I pass?" moments...

Congrats on your surgery date! I'll be right behind you.

Well congratulations and welcome to the losers club.:D ..After surgery drink and walk as much as you can. It will help move the gas and also will help you heal faster. I really do suggest you follow your doctors before and after diet and don't vary from it. good luck and please keep us posted.

      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.
