June 3rd. Started preop diet 3 days early. If I "slip" I'm not so hard on myself. Excited and nervous. Is it weird I'm afraid of losing weight? Anyone else have that feeling?

My surgery date is June 6th and I am nothing but excited! I had my Lap-Band taken out 5 1/2 months ago and have gained a considerable amount of weight since then. I started my pre-op diet today (a week early) and I'm pretty hungry but it will all be worth it!

I am also addicted to watching youtube videos. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

What is the pre op diet for you?

Sorry, premature send???? Mydetoxnurse,

I had an EGD last year, found out I had Celiac, which means no bouillon cubes (they have wheat). The EGD was wonderful, like a really great restful nap. Prayers to you! Keep in touch, we CAN do this!!

I have 2-3 Protein shakes a day and then a lean cuisine for dinner. I am also going cold turkey off of coffee so this is making for a very grumpy girl right now.

I will turning 50 while we are there-so "a new life, a new beginning!"

      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.
