Still waiting for my authorization from medical aid, I am hoping it comes this week. Surgeon is just finalizing which hospital I will have it at before applying for my authorization.

I start my 1 week pre-op on the 7th Feb. I have been on shakes for months so don't expect a problem with managing with shakes and pre-op diet.

Although I assume it will be a little harder.

It is good that you are already started though, it will be a much easier transition to the pre-op diet.

I'm February 12th!!! Still haven't got final approval because we have to wait until the 1st to send the stuff to the insurance company, although they are certain it will go through!!! I started my liquid diet today actually and I totally dislike Protein shakes... This is going to be the longest 21 days of my life!!!

Feb. 11th it is! I'm the first surgery so gotta be there at 5:30. Because I'm a revision I get a 2-3 day stay instead of 1-2 day and a larger chance that I get to go home with a JP drain (still thinks he can probably do it without the drain). If I get a drain I get to keep it for 4 (YES FOUR) weeks. That'll be fun at work!!!

And the best news of all!!!! His nurse lied to me, he only wants me on 2 weeks of shakes! I get to eat again til Sunday!!!! Woohoo!!!! I see a burger in my future :D

      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.
