Well Friends can I join your December group. I was at the hospital today all ready to go back and have surgery and the Doc came in and said he didn't feel comfortable doing the surgery today because my blood sugars have been high. I nearly begged him to do it anyway. But he just said he wouldn't feel right. So he has rescheduled it for Dec. 5. Meanwhile I need to get these sugars down. Wish me luck.

Hi all, I'm a newbie.

My op is on December 1, in Coventry, England. My surgeon is Mr Fraser.

I'm absolutely terrified, as I've been on the waiting list for months and got a cancellation. I start my milk and yogurt diet next Friday!

Ok I finish the 6 months on 11/7/2012 :rolleyes: thank God. I had missed one month and had to start all over so the process has took me 10 months. All I need to do is be patient for the next step, the doc office said not until january for the surgery. It was alot of jumping through hoops I hope it is worth it!

      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.
