I went last week to see the dietitian and the psychologist. They both seemed to think I had done my homework and was ready for surgery. When I dropped off my paperwork at my surgeons office, I asked if I could schedule in the 2 week period that the school district is off for Christmas. That way I wouldn't have to take any time off of work. She penciled me in for Dec. 27th! That works out perfect for me. I have the family over to my house for Christmas and I won't have to worry about recovering while planning for a big family holiday. I also plan on only telling 2 people at work, so this way I won't have to lie about why I need a couple of days off. I will just play it all off as another New Years Diet. Now I just pray the insurance approval comes through and they can write my name in ink for the 27th of December. Merry Christmas to me!

Yes a two week liquid pre op diet. I thought of that also. It takes me through Christmas. I'm thinking if I'm really, really good, maybe I can have a little Christmas dinner.< /p>

How's the liquid diet going? I thought I was going to be on all liquids but I'm able to have raw veggies, yogurt, and cottage cheese. I start tomorrow!

      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.
