My surgery date is December 10th also. I have to do a 3-week pre-op diet which I'm not looking forward to.

Surgery date of December 3rd! Excited, terrified, relieved, nervous, happy, scared, thrilled, freaked out..... ahhhhh! I've never had anything more serious than a sprained ankle so far. Several risk factors are on the high end though. It would really just be a matter of time until some of the health issues surface if I stayed on this track.

Hi. I'm Michelle. I'm 42 years old, 5"6 and was at 271 lbs. when I started this journey in April. I'm now at 247 lbs. (trying to establish some good habits now before surgery). I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone. My family is in another state and I don't want too many to know about this procedure. I'm going to need the support here. I travel a lot for work so going to group meetings won't be likely.

Nice to meet you all!

Everyone else seems to be getting a head start in weight loss before surgery except me. I lost 13 lbs since starting the process but gained it back.

Damn ...

      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.
