Mine is also scheduled for the 14th. My Dr. only requires liquids 3 days prior to surgery.

I'm scheduled for Nov 14th and this is also Day 3 of liquid diet. Boy, I just have to think "one day at a time" and then remind myself of all the years of overindulging, I cannot feel sorry for myself for being "deprived" for 14 days! I let myself have one cup of coffee each day with 1TB Creamer . . . I think that saves me!

How are you holding up with your diet since your a day ahead of me :)

It gets easier. I have noticed if I eat the shakes the same time every day, I am not as tired and no headache. I keep telling myself this is only for a month. (two weeks pre-op and two week post-op). When my family eats, I don't even want what they have. I hope this feeling continues! How are you doing?

Hello. Mine is the 15th. After working on this for over a year and a half. I still am not believing it is going to happen until I check in. ;)

I went yesterday for all of my pre op with the MD and the hospital. I am a nurse but good grief I had no idea I would be there 6 hours!! I am glad that is over.

This is a great site. It is great to see everyone on the same journey. My family and friends are supportive but they just don't "get" what all I am feeling right now. It helps to see I am not alone. :)

My surgery is also the 14th! Woohoo! :) I cannot wait. I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet. It consists of 3 Protein Shakes, 2 Protein Bars and 1 tiny meal for dinner. About 1000 calories. It's hard but is going well! I have lost 3lbs so far since starting it. 51lbs down... way too many to go LOL! :P

      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.
