And for some reason I still feel as though it's not going to happen. I'm excited! My doctor didn't tell me to go on a liquid diet for these past two weeks and I've notice a bunch of people that say how it was necessary. I'm hoping this wont interfere with tomorrow. I was just told to eat light. Ah well yeah. I'm just excited and wanted to share. Hope all is well with everyone!

Good luck. My surgery was last Wednesday. You will do great. And don't worry my docs at Yale said there is no need for a liquid diet 2 weeks before. Losing any weight is always helpful because it makes the liver smaller. Less complications.

You will do great. Use the pain meds if needed. And walk when u can

Congrats on the surgery! And thank you. I was very curious about the whole pre-op liquid diet thing. Anyway how are you feeling since the surgery? I'm hoping to be able to move around by Friday. Is there any hope for me? Haha

Good luck with your surgery! I'm scheduled for 4/12 and have no idea what I'm doing. My doc asked my hubby and I to go on the South Beach diet, phase 1 (which means no carbs).

My surgeon only had me do all liquids the day before surgery. Everything was fine. I had a little bit of nausea the day of surgery but that's to be expected for most. Love love love my decision! Congratulations and get ready for a new and amazing life!

Hey guys! Thanks for the replies and encouragement! I had my operation at 10am and I'm now here in the recovery room watching the office on my phone. Haha I'm so bored and I've slept enough that I'm worried I won't be able to fall back asleep later. The only thing I have to complain about is how sore my stomach and back are. I want to get up and walk around but I'm not allowed to till later. Can't wait to go home to have some chicken broth. I'm actually craving some :)

      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.
