Did your liquid diets consist of one small meal and then shakes?

No. I have to have a Protein Drink for Breakfast, lunch, dinner and evening snack. I can have SF Jello and SF popsicles and a limited number of fruits and veggies (but only a max. of 2 cups of those a day). I can honestly say I don't feel that hungry but I'm already sick of the shakes and I'm only 1 day in. Ughhh!!!

Hi' date=' guys! I just got my surgery date last night. I'm scheduled for July 29 and I have to admit I'm starting to freak out a little! I think it's because it seems more real now that there is an actual date set.[/quote']

I'm right with ya had no scared feelings till I found out my date. Maybe because I'm hungry because I'm on a 4 week liquid diet, I'm miserable.

I am scheduled for July 3rd. Preop is scheduled for July 2nd and I am really excited. I would be lying if I said I am not nervous but I would be for any surgery. I am trying to make sure I have everything prepared at home so life will be easy. My doctor gave me a "shopping list" that make post op life a little easier. I have been on my preop diet for 8 days now and have lost 12 lbs. Ready for the numbers to drop.

My surgery is July 10. Today is day 6 of Optifast liquid diet, not going to badly for the most part. Yesterday I was whit queasy and dizzy but I think it was because I went to long between shakes.

Would you mind sharing the shipping list your doctor have you? I am also trying to get organized and would love to see if I have everything I need. Thanks.

Good luck to everyone in July :-)

Just got approved yesterday, finally! It feels so much less stressful, knowing that I am really, seriously approved. I guess the third time (submitting documents to my insurance) was the charm :) No more insurance battles! I was originally hoping for a May surgery date, then I was postponed to June, & now July. The scheduler is going to call me on Weds with my date. Really, really hoping for a July date. If she says August, I think I might have to scream!

      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.
