We'll I'm on day 11 of the 14 day liquid diet. All is going well' date=' I'm not hungry at all now. My surgery is this coming Wednesday! The 23rd...I'm very excited and in "nesting" mode.

Best wishes to very one having surgery this week and next and also to you pioneers that have already had surgery, thanks for sharing it helps us be prepared! Love following you girls on your journey, just wish I had time to be on here more......[/quote']

My surgery is the 30th which is not too far. I just wondered what to do to be prepared both in the hospital and back home? I'm really getting worried about not being prepared enough

Only 23 hours til surgery. I am strangely calm about this. I'm more worried about getting my house ready for the company coming in to help me after surgery. Most of my family doesn't know because I didn't want anyone to spill the Beans to my grandmother, she'd literally worry herself sick, but I've thought about making some calls home just to say "hey, I love you", just in case.

Prayers for all of the surgeries tomorrow. We are waiting here on the bench for you cheering. My doc said 2 weeks liq. 2 pureed. 2 soft then real food. I can't stand not chewing puree makes me want to hurl. So I am slowly trying fork tender things, chewing them into paste and going super slow. No problems yet. Thank goodness.

      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.
