I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

I am also February 4th. I've been on the pre-op diet since January 1st. I was suppose to go in on January 14th but I came down with a bad ear infection 2 nights before. I've given myself some room on the pre-op diet the last few days and I feel horrible. Tomorrow I will elect to go back 100%.

My Preop was Jan. 10th, and yes they give you a detailed diet. Plus, examples of what to eat. Myself, I'm on a 1,400 cal diet until two days out then liquid only.

I am so ready, only been overweight for about 10 years.......I want my life back!!!

I was thinking they were going to put me on an all liquid diet the whole two weeks before but I hope my doctor gives me what your on. How long are you planning to take off work, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi slimmingdani,

Every dr. Seems to be different.

My dr. Said min. Of 2 weeks, max 6 weeks. My plan is 2 weeks, but luckily i have saved 17 days vacation. I'd really like to go back after 1 week, but dr. Says no.

Feel free to ask anything.

Have a great day!

Hi Mastiff_mama,

Yes, having no food so many days out is a setup for failure in my opinion. But that's just my opinion. I get that we will be on liquid diet afterward, but i believe we wont want food for while anyways.

Good luck n have a great day!!

After about the third or fourth day on the pre-op diet, I no longer cared about eating. Make sure to get enough Protein and you will be good.

      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.
