LoL.....Im a little over 3 weeks away and I feel the same way!! Yes, you should have brought your chewable/liquid Vitamins, Protein Shakes, Water, gatorate ect. Time will be here before you know it. :) Are you doing a pre-op liquid diet too??

My op is June 20th and the surgeon wants me to lose 14 lb by then. If it was that easy I wouldn't be having the surgery eh ? Did you guys have to do a special diet beforehand ? I don't think we do a liquid diet pre-op in the uk.

So, I am heading out this weekend to get everything I need. I did not have to be on a pre-op diet. I already eat a very low carb diet now so the dr felt that was great! I didn't have to lose anything before I had the surgery however I decided I wanted to and lost 30lbs. I am keeping the surgery a secret to most so I want them to think I am just losing more weight. I also know the more weight the healthier I am on that operation table and that is important to me. Almost a week away and I am ready and very nervous. What is the scariest thing about the surgery to you guys?

I havent told any of my family members so the scariest thing is something going wrong during the procedure and they find out that 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.
