Well 3 weeks from tomorrow is my surgery. Scared and yet knowing I need it,,,just hoping I can do all the right things afterwards and not feel like I rushed into this decision or that I cannot have a good life after...to many things we do are based on food, dinner outs, parties etc....big changes needed.

June 11th here in the Tulsa ok area. I'm very nervous, excited and scared. This preop diet is hard. I feel like I'm starving and I'm afraid I'm not getting enough to drink. I'd rather have nothing then the Breakfast essential packets mixed with Water and I'm burned out on broth already.

Also wanted to say good luck to everyone having surgery this week :)

Anyone else doing the 2 week preop diet feeling like they are failing? And might fail after surgery? Idk if its all in my mind or what but I just feel like if I have this much trouble staying on liquids now then maybe I will after aswell :-( plus ive been on the preop diet since last Wednesday and havent lost any weight....what the H is up with that crap? This has me worried that maybe my surgeon wont trust that ive done the diet and he will cancel. Im paranoid. They have a 10 lb weight gain rule...I havent gain 10 lbs...so I think im ok....but I havent lost anything either even though ive really tried! Feeling very discouraged.

Just keep going your doing a great job. Just remember that pre op is to shrink and reduce the fat on your liver to make surgery easier. Your surgeon will know that you have stuck to the diet because he will be able to see your liver during the op. I'm on pre op as well so I know how you feel, I've only lost 3 kgs since last Sat .

      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.
