I'm scheduled for December 26th. Anyone else on this date? I start my pre op diet on 12/12. I'm truly not nervous. I'm ready to get this over with and start a new (thinner) life. The anticipation is the hardest. I've researched and researched until I'm tired of making lists. I did some shopping this weekend and got a mug warmer, demitasse spoons, cocktail forks, small dishes, a couple of king sized pillows, some REALLY soft pillow cases, a soft cuddly blanket and a new nightgown. I have been researching Protein Drinks until I'm blue in the face. I envy all those people who only have to do 1 week preop and those who get to have real food. Figure it is getting me ready for after surgery when I can't eat solid food.

I'm more nervous about the mushy stage. I don't like mushy stuff so figure I'm going to be on these Protein Shakes awhile! Good luck to everyone going ahead of me. Please come back and post your results so I know what I need to change. What did you wish you had taken to the hospital? What do you know now that you wished someone would have told you about?

Good luck everyone. Here's to a new us in 2013!I

      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.
