Whose having surgery in july? my date is the 9th!

That is my date too!! I am excited, a little bit nervous but I am keeping it together well. I am having it near where I live in the Bay Area, CA. I did have to lose a bit of weight, am down a total of 18 lbs from when I started earlier this year. I have Anthem BCBS and they have been so-so, but they are covering at 100% now. I don't have a long pre-op diet, just 48 hours before has to be Clear Liquids, then 2 wks full liquids, 2 wks pureed, 4 wks soft food, then back to solid at month 3.

Have you done all your shopping yet? I am getting everything this weekend, but got a Nutribullet (for the pureed and after) and food scale last week, and am trying to eat all the stuff we have around here now so that its not there afterwards. Also I'm making some household modifications - removable showerhead for the twice daily showers, extra height on my bed and couch so I dont have to bend, and rearranging furniture for easy access. Lots to do!!

I think I'm ready..... I feel strong and determined but every now and then I get a moment when I think "are you really sure you want to do this?" Best thing I do is get on here and read everyone's thoughts. Keep me posted on your journey, I haven't told very many people so it will be nice to have someone to share things with :)

      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.
