Why do you have to start the pre-op diet so soon?

My doctore requires a pre-op diet for patients with a BMI of 50 or over. I am at a BMI of 49.6 so that is close enough to 50. It is an 800 calorie diet, it doesn't seem like much but I am hopeful.

Oh okay. I havd a liquid diet as well. But I don't start until the 3rd. I think it's going to be tough but I'll make it work! Side note: How do I create one of those body weight ticker banners?

OMG. I just received a phone call from my surgeons office informing me of the insurance approval. I am SO excited yet nervous at the same time. I can't believe this day has finally come. I just wanted to thank each and everyone of you vsters. You all really have helped me tremendously. Words cannot express how grateful I am for finding this site. It's just a wealth of information. Now I can officially count down the days until my surgery!!!!

Surgery scheduled for July 17, 2012!

The tickers can be made through your profile. Go up to the upper righthand corner and on the drop down menu (under your username) it will say manage tickers.....

      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.
