Hi! My surgery is scheduled for January 6 also! I am excited and nervous both. I have a two week shake diet along with clear liquids. That starts December 23. So no Christmas dinner. :( but it will be fine. I just have to think about my goals for the long term and not focus on now.

I am having mine with Dr. Aceves. I see that you had planned to go with him as well. What changed your mind?

4meonly- I changed jobs and got insurance that covers the procedure so I'm having it in the States. I've heard he's excellent though!

Eroper, what kind of preop diet will you be on the day before surgery?

I will be on a liquid diet for one week before surgery. I can't remember if Dr. Aceves requires a pre-op diet.

Starting my pre-op two week Protein Shake diet today. The count down is starting! I am trying really hard not to freak myself out worrying. Trying to just not think about it for now. If I dwell on it too much, I will be a nervous wreck. :)

      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.
