My surgery date is Dec 16th and I am really nervous about it.. I start my clear liquid diet Next Monday the 2nd so not looking forward to that but will do just as the Doctor says. I have never had surgery before and this is was is scaring me the most not knowing what to expect.

How are you doing? How is the diet going for you? Thinking and praying for you, it's going to be here before you know it!

LULU I feel the same way... My sister had this surgery in May and she had the most gorgeous thick hair and even though it's still beautiful it has definitely thinned out. I ALREADY have thin hair so I'm VERY nervous abt this... Gonna just try my hardest to get as much Protein as possible...

Well i am 3 days out from my surgery... The gas part is killing OMG it is wicked bad. I have not felt like drinking anything not to mention my protien drinks. Every time I drink something I can feel my stomach and my insides are grubbling and growling... I have been up walking and even been up most of today wrapping xmas gifts.. Does the gas part every go away?? At this point it feels like i will have this all the time.

      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.
