I'm set for Jan 9 provided my insurance approves it! My paper work was sent in on Dec 4 and I am still waiting to hear from them. I hope they hurry soon I don't want to go thru the preop diet for nothing.

My surg date is Jan 8th. I am so excited but scared at the same time. I guess I am afraid of failure. I can not stick to a diet so how will I keep the weight off 10 years from now. I am glad the surgery group I am going to has support groups.

Change your thought process. It's not easy but it can be done. You are not a failure at all , be thankful that you have this chance to make your life better. Support groups are great and just put yourself around positive people.☀☺

      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.
