Thank You. I hope to get a date soon. I am so worried about the pre op diet though. What if I cant stick with it? I have no control over food, that is why i am in the shape I am in now. I wonder if I mess up the pre op diet if they will still do the surgery. I just wonder what kind of diet I will be on. I have seen so many post about the pre op diet and so many of them are so very different. I am hoping I can do a couple of Protein Shakes a day and a small meal. I believe I could stick with that. I just hope it is not the all liquid diet.< /p>

There seems to be several different pre op diets- depends on your surgeon. But I do know that the surgeon will cancel surgery if you haven't followed pre op directions. We just gotta stay focused and support each other. Swimsuit season is coming up!!! Lol. One day at a time! We got this!!

      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.
