Nope. My surgeon told me to lose at least 20 pounds pre-op. Period. No weight loss, no surgery. Never even discussed any kind of diet. Just lose the weight. Worked for me - I lost 35 pounds pre-op!!

Ugh...talk about waiting is exhausting! The whole time I've been aiming for surgery in December, because that'll be my last weigh-in...and now my patient advocate tells me I should exoect to have the surgery by January. She tells me insurance usually takes two weeks for a decision and usually a few weeks to get an appt. for surgery since my surgeon is very busy. No fair! I hate waiting. I can't imagine being stuck in this big, painful body till January 2013. Oh well though. At least there's a light at the end of the tunnel =\

I start my two week liquid diet on Monday- ugh! I went into kitchen today and boxed up everything in cabinets and whatever was not open in the fridge' date=' and gave to friends. I am gonna miss BACON![/quote']

Good luck! Eventually you will be able to have bacon. You just have to worry about the fat on it. I eat turkey bacon which has less fat and it is good.

      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.
