I'm lucky my surgeon is only making me do the liquid diet the day before surgery.

I went through Kaiser Fremont. My surgery was with Dr. Hahn on May 17, 2011. I've been at goal for almost 18 months. I only had to do liquid the day before pre-op. I followed the pre-op diet in our plan book for the months before surgery. And I pretty much use that diet at goal too, with a few extra treats thrown in.

Jessica, I was scared before surgery too. I will be thinking of you on the 10th! Use the time pre-op to run errands, pay bills, clean house, and stock up on staple items for your household. Also, if you have a DVR, record some movies and if you like to read, get some books. It's nice to have something waiting for you at home for the times you don't feel like doing much.

      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.
