I am set for January 14th in Alabama. I was suppose to have it done over the Christmas break but insurance issues came up. So I am now on day 3 of liquids. I feel ok. I haven't cheated. I am very nervous about the surgery but I have come this far and know it is best for me.

Me too: Jan 14 also. I am on low carb high Protein high Fluid diet and the weight is dropping off right now. Making up for my Christmas "Last Supper"!! My pre-op testing (ECG blood etc) is tomorrow. It is good to know a bunch of us are in it together. I'll be thinking of you here in Chicago!

I started my clear liquid preop diet today. Doing good so far, kinda hungry though. The low sodium chicken broth with a scoop of chicken flavored Unjury Protein Powder is pretty satisfying. Surgery is first thing Wednesday morning. Can't believe how fast the surgery date came up. :o

Cheers!

Hello everyone I'm set for Wednesday the 8th in San Antonio TX. I feel excited and nervous at the same time. Not so much nervous for the actual procedure but the adjusting afterwards. But I have lost 12lb on my pre-op diet so I'm very hopeful

      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.
