awesome, I have a date, and Jane had it all along just didn't know it, was approved in September, Dr said you're approved as of Jan 15th..so I thought this was just an approval date not the surgery date, anyway, super excited, have last appointment and pre op registration on the 5th, I was supposed to start 2 week liquid diet on Jan 1st but I started early :) surprisingly today hasn't been hard. So glad to hear you're finished up..almost! Gosh you could be done in January probably right?

That would be amazing but I am thinking it may be February before I have it done. Congrats to you though!! You are so close! I am not looking forward to the liquid diet lol

I wasnt either but for some reason today wasn't bad. I ate over the weekend when i was trying to start liquid early but I i watched myself. Anyway I had some anxiety I guess that I would go nuts on it lol..but hopefully it's gonna be ok! I had beef broth this evening. It seemed like it would be so good but it wasn't..tasted kinda fake. And I'm not picky at all. I find it really hard to sleep when I'm not eating. Hoping I will do ok with that too.well keep in touch if you want! I think I'm starting to get a headache, ,which is easy for me to do so I think in gonna have a carb control shake, well have a good night sorry for rambling lol

      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.
