I only had to do a week of the pre-op liquid diet. I am down 4lbs already since Tuesday and really looking forward to 11/6. It took the first two days to really get into the swing of things and not think about how hungry I am constantly. Now it's no big deal, I know what's waiting for me at the end of the tunnel and I can't wait!

I'm scheduled for the 13th! I'm so excited. I've done my pre-op meeting and paid for the surgery (I'm self pay). I'm finding I'm rather calm at the moment. Just a wonderful sense of peace with all this. I think the next few days will be packing and catching up with the family laundry. No real pre-op diet. I just had to lose 5% of my weight before I got my date. And now I've got to just keep it off (no last big splurge). Well, the day before I'm on Clear Liquids only (no red or purples). I get my surgery time Friday. I'm so excited I'm just rambling on.

Had my surgery yesterday, it went well. The Dr. found a hernia in my chest and repaired it as well. I walked 4 laps later that day and today I was able to eat Jello, chicken both and drink Water and crystal light. I'm a little sore and gassy but the hardest part is over. One day at a time. Going to the gym to do some cardio tomorrow. The key is to keep moving and it will definitely get better. Stay positive

      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.
