Good point! You can do this. Most surgeons expect some weight loss just to show adherence to the pre-op diet as well as the reduction of the size of the liver. My doc is stringent on this. If you don't show a loss between the pre-op visit (11 days prior) compared to day of surgery, he postpones. He's militant and I believe him! So far, I've been following the docs pre-op diet (no liquid it's 1500cal/day) for 5 days and lost 4 lbs. You can, too!! You've made it this far, don't let a few pounds stand in your way. :)

20th for me too! Only booked the op and flights on 9th (yesterday) so had that day as my last day of eat all you want food and started the pre-op diet today. As mine is gonna be a short pre-op I am having Optifast only, no food at all. I figured it'll be easier to go onto the clear fluids after only having the shakes and no food. Have done optifast before for 10 weeks and your hungar totally goes away after day 4, but getting to day 4 is bloody hard! Thats all they do over here anyway, the optifast, no food at all, it shrinks your liver and internal fat well.

Having my surgery in Mi Doctor Hospital by Dr Lopez, staying at the Marriott until Wed 27th. Hope to meet some of you there on our journey, good luck!

      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.
