Hello, Ashwini! It's nice to meet you!

I'm also still pre-op, with a confirmed surgery date of July 24. I've been hanging around this site and these forums for well over a year now, and it's a pretty supportive place, with lots of information already posted in many of the forums, but don't hesitate to ask if you have questions!

Welcome Ashwini. It is completely normal to be anxious leading up to and even following your surgery, many many people on here have gone through it. The most important thing is to focus on your reasons you chose to have this surgery and try not to worry it will all work out in the long run. I had my surgery on December 10, 2012 and am down 114 pounds already. Good Luck now and throughout your journey.

      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.
