Can you please add me to the list? March 14 :) can't wait! Nervous! Start a two week diet on march 1. The two week diet is for a study being conducted to see the amount of fat loss from the stomach area within the two weeks. To utilize the data for colon cancer operations. Just have to stay under 1000 calories for 14 days. :)

I feel bad. I haven't had to do any of the hoops that all of you have had to do to get your insurances to approve your surgery. I have not had to loose any weight, I was told not too. I've had no phyc eval, no limits on food intake.

Get a soda stream is soda but with very little carbonation or none depending how much you put in it.

I am worried about this too. I am a chugger and have not been able to stop. I know I will not be able to after but what if I forget!

I have been reading a ton about the EGD's that everyone seems to be having done. I am not required to do this and am a bit worried about it. Can someone explain why this is important? Thank you so much!

I was suppose to have my surgery this Monday.

Well I have a horrible sinus infection and strep throat UGH! So my surgery for Monday was canceled.

Now I have to wait to get it rescheduled again and because of work it won't e until layer on in March now.

I'm getting laid off in 2 weeks so I have to wait until after that to do my surgery. I had already done 1 week of a 2 week liquid diet so in a couple weeks I will have to start all over again.

I almost thought this was a sign and I told the dr that I no longer wanted the surgery. Then I realized how badly I wanted my life back so I decided I have it again. I think I was just an emotional wreck from not eating, getting sick and nervous about the surgery.

Stay strong everyone and good luck to you all. I'm glad to see the post ops are doing well and I will update you guys on my new surgery date when I get.

That 2 week liquid diet is no joke.

      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.
