Another August 6th here! I've been doing low carb this week trying to prepare myself for the two week liquid diet that starts next Tuesday. Not looking forward to that one bit!

Wow! 8/6 is gonna be a busy day! Congrats on your date. I've had mine (8/6) for about 2 months and that's a lot of time to percolate on it. Thank God for this board.

The chairs side note is cracking me up. I bought a beach chair at the grocery store ( cheap last minute beach trip). Worried I would break it, and once I got in it could barely get up and out! Those days are soon to be SO OVER!

... Did any of you have a last meal of those foods we are not supposed to eat post-op?

I've really misbehaved with allowing myself to eat everything and anything I won't touch after the surgery. I can only pray that I am as disciplined as I hope to be afterward.

I'm having mine on august 5th, only one month after my parents offered and we all together found out about this fantastic surgery and all its benefits...how craaaaazy i feel so unprepared but yet couldn't find a better moment to do it. i'm young (so less chance of extra skin), not too far in my weight gain and still have a couple weeks before school starts again. geez i am nervous and excited at the same time.

I'm doing mine on August 6th in TJ (Mexico) at Mi Doctor (staying at the Marriott). My husband is going with me.

This pre-op diet is KILLING me. On my 3rd day. Supposed to do 2-3 shakes plus small dinner of lean protein+salad. I have a constant head ache. Had 1 Migraine. The Protein Shakes make me want to vomit! I'm cheating by adding sugar-free Jello & chicken stock to the mix. Ugh.

It will all be worth it in the end. :)

      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.
