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.

Wow! 2 months! You know, I was a little surprised I didn't have to wait longer.....I figured I had more time--but feeling very grateful for the 8/6 date...

I've been playing with Protein Drinks for awhile now...I don't have enough time for a food funeral LOL If I do anything, I may have a meal with Chinese food...I've heard sometimes it doesn't agree post WLS.....not always a healthy choice anyway, so not a big loss LOL

I am new to this site my date is aug 6 im stressing on the two week diet before any pointers would be great!

Welcome! The folks on here are terrific! I really enjoyed this post on attitude, his message is good for everyone: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/87330-attitude-your-secret-weapon/page__hl__attitude

this is my plan for the 2 week pre-op diet: understand it fully, make sure all ques. are answered...have everything in the home....make sure there is no excuse that could possibly set yourself up for failure....my day is unpredictable, so I will be sure to have plenty of shakes/water for the day in a cooler whenever I leave the house

probably a little militant, but it troubles me when I read about people not following the pre-op diet 100%....logically, it doesn't make any sense...even worse, I'm scared that I'll find myself in the same boat....

I've purged my cabinets of anything I won't use post-op....setting up an area just for the 2 week stuff...food I have to have for hubby will be out of my sight....

Welcome!

Welcome!

Great idea on purging the cabinets.. I have already started a little.. and dedicated a shelf for 'Mom's Stuff' no one is allowed to eat my stuff.. that way I won't feel the need to go out and buy more..

Getting sleeved 8/15 in Miami. Very excited yet nervous. I started a journal and plan on documenting this metamorphosis of body and mind. Bucket list of food I want to eat and just going with it. One day at a time ...!

I hope I will get a August surgery date also. I decided to travel to WLA instead of the local dr. in my area so I can get in earlier. The Palmdale doctor is taking almost a month off for vacation and some of Sept. surgery schedule is already booked. I see the surgery next Thursday at Kaiser WLA. My drink of choice was juice, so I finally gave it up and drinking more Water. Unfortunately, I still crave it. I have a teenager and adult daughter in the home and that is all that they drink, although it is 100% juice, I know eating my fruit is better for 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.
