I am Sept 23 as well! Had my last pre op appt today. When the nurse weighed me she said "this is the last time you will weigh this much". Wow' date=' I can hardly imagine.

I start 2 week liquids on Monday - I get 3 oz of Lean Protein twice in the two weeks and all the non starchy veg I want. I am going to make a pot of WW 0 point veg Soup and eat that in addition to my Protein Shakes. It tastes really good and is filling.[/quote']

My diet starts on the 18th. But I'm thinking of maybe starting on the 16th. I can have one Protein Shake a day if it gets really bad. I've never heard of the WW 0 point soup. I'll google it :) I need recipes!

The pre-op diet? It's not bad but I'm on it for 2 weeks.. it's only day 2 and I'm trying to find ways to have vegetables Lol.. I'm used to some rice or noodles or shrimp in there! I guess I just have to get used to it... After surgery will be worse

Thanks for the support, I guess the reason I feel like I am second guessing myself I will only have 10 day off from work. Then work two weeks and fly out to Las Vega for my daughters wedding. From what I have read and heard, you are not able to eat much at all I have not told anyone about me getting surgery. I don't want others to know what I am doing. My doctor told said "what are you going to tell your co-worker and family when they notice your weight lost"?

When I had my lapband and lost 80 lbs, I didnt tell most co-workers and many family members for the first 7-8 months, then I didnt care!!

      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.
