I'm getting my date tomorrow or Tuesday. It will be in the next two weeks. It's crazy because my birthday is the 27th. This is like the best birthday present ever. I'm super nervous, but can't wait for it to happen!

Any suggestions on the pre-op diet? I start mine tomorrow and my surgery is the 18th. I'm more worried about that than the surgery. I still have to cook for my family and I don't want to be tempted to eat.

I'm right there with you. Starting my pre- op diet tomorrow and surgery on the 18th also. Cooking for my family will definitely be a challenge. We can do this, though. Will just have to keep remembering why we are doing this. It will definitely be worth it all! Wishing us both lots of luck!

Ok...so here I sit at the airport waiting to board my flight to Las Vegas. Pre-op tomorrow surgery Tuesday. I am experiencing some anxiety but I have it under control. I am on day 12 of my pre-op diet and have lost 13 pounds. Interesting those all came off in the first 7days and nothing for the last 5.

Good luck! I am here in Las Vegas, too. I am scheduled Friday.

      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.
