I'm a June 11 too. (Atlanta area) I am also excited' date=' nervous, and scared. This is a huge journey. I know it is the right thing for me and others to do, but anxiety is still there. I know WE can do this. Buddies are great. Wishing you a smooth easy first day of prep shakes.[/quote']

I totally agree. I can't stand the shakes but it's all part of it and I want to make surgery as easier or them as I can. I also know this is something I have to do. I have to overcome the what if's.

My surgery is set for June 3. I'm in upstate New York. I don't have a pre-op diet or endoscopy. Lost 12 lbs so far and am ready to get the surgery done...just getting everything set in my pantry and making my list of things to take to the hospital. I will be home by myself after surgery. My best friend that was to help me has left me high and dry. But I went through gall bladder surgery by myself. I can get through this as well. I love all the support everyone gets on this forum.

I am having surgery with Dr. Simon on the following Monday June 10th! Best of luck to you! Keep in touch. :D

So day 6 on my prepo liquid diet and its not going bad at all I was more concerned going back to work And being on a liquid diet but after last night nothing bother me at all,it went smoothly.. Better than expected,Maybe it's just my motivation Or knowing I have to do this in order to have my surgery and to have a healthier life. Plus a good support system like you all and my family and friends that are behind me hundred percent. Everyone I told about my surgery was and is very supportive. My husband is too but still a little unhappy because he's not going to be here for it... They say duty calls so he's on-duty. But the upside to that is when I do see him it will be a new litter me.

      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.
