I'd jump up and down with you, but my tummy doesn't want me doing that yet :) When you meet with your surgeon and/or dietician they will let you know what type of pre-op diet you should be on. It varies quite a bit. I had to do one week liquid diet. You just take it one day at a time and you'll be there before you know it!

Congrats!

I know exactly how you feel because I just got approved too! My surgery date is April 2nd and I've been trying for over a year to get approved so I'm so excited and nervous at the same time as well..My doctor doesn't require a pre-op diet so I'm glad about that...Good look to both of us, keep us posted on how you do and so I will know what to expect! LOL..

I'm happy for you. Same day as mine! :). Doing 2 Slimfast and 2 Slimfast Snacks and small dinner each day for 2 weeks before. Already did samplings of Liquid Protein. Found a great deal - do one whey Protein bullet (42 grams protein and $2.87 at Walmart) and add to bottle of Water. Be sure and get at least 65 grams of protein per day after diet. I know someone who had surgery in November 2012 and is losing hair because she isn't getting enough protein. Good luck!

Did your surgeon say you have to do a pre-op diet? My surgeon says it isn't necessary so I'm lucky about that..Good luck, you can do it! Just keep telling yourself it will all be worth it..

My surgery is next wed march 6th I have to do 2week preop and have cheated a few times but still down 7 lbs and hope to be down 10 before wed. I have 70 -80 to lose and will be the size I was in my 20s! Just want my pre diabetes and hypertension to go away and extend my life as much as possible. The benefit of thinness is something I haven't felt for over 30 years. I am so anxious to be done and healed and watch the scale go in the right direction.

Congrats to those who posted about their surgery approval today! So happy for you!, my best friend was sleeved in July of 2011 she lost 140 lbs total-about 28 pre surgery. She looks and feels wonderful!

      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.
