I am. Haven't gotten my scheduled date yet. The 2 week fast during Christmas and New Years will be hard.

Yes, its definitely going to be hard. I am already cutting back on my food intake and replacing one meal with a Liquid Protein shake. Not sure if my body is going through withdrawals or its just nerves. I start tomorrow with 2 replacement shakes. Breakfast and dinner. I'm glad I joined this forum; )

@slinkielovin when do you go for your pre~op visit? My sx is scheduled for Jan 16th the lap band coordinator advised me of my one week liquid diet b4 surgery. I have been doing good but jump off the bandwagon on the weekends. Best of luck to you!

My Dr. Doesn't have me on any kind of diet or fast before my surgery. Is that weird?

I had no pre-op diet either. Just no food after midnight the night before surgery.

      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.
