Hello, I'm having my op on the 7th too! It's exciting to have other people going in at the same time. I'm in Australia and getting nervous about it. I start 2 weeks of Optifast this Wednesday.

My preauthorization went through fairly quick. I attended a seminar on 5/21/13 and was approved to move forwards on 6/29th. Dr told me to lose about 15 pounds...I called on 7/10 to report that I'd lost 17 pounds. He wanted to set the surgery originally for 7/20, but he was booked that day, so I am scheduled on the 2 to making the biggest decision in my adult life! To change...for me! Good Luck to everyone out there!

Good luck to you too. Its lovely that there are so many here who can support each other. Am feeling nervous as my date approaches. But I think the nerves are normal. Im sure I will freak out a little afterwards too but I think thats normal too. Its irreversable and a drastic change but I have to remember how much I need to do this.

      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.
