When do you have to start your liquid diet? Where are you having your surgery? I'm in oklahoma.

That's when I started. I have to drive about an 1 1/2 hours to Owasso, Ok. After driving it at least once a month it doesn't seem far at all. We'll have to keep in touch.

My date is Dec 17. Does anyone else feel like the surgery might not happen? I went through this before, only to be denied by insurance. Now, im self pay. Not looking forward to monthly payments, but figured Id save a lot of money on groceries and could put that towards the bill..lol..

I was Leary even after being told I was completely approved. I received my approval letter in the mail today from the insurance so that eased my mind a lot.

      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.
