I am indeed. The fear of the unknown!! I'm all stocked up though on my Vitamins and pre-op clear liquid diet food. I have a 2 week clear liquid diet prior to my January 16th gastric bypass surgery. What about you?

I'm getting there, I have Vitamins and various Protein liquid on order. I am sooo ready. I have also been periodically drinking Protein Shakes in preparation. What hospital will you be having your surgery in?

Hi! I just got my surgery date... January 20th at York hospital in PA. I live in northern Baltimore County, MD. I've been ready for this for 8 months. I'll start my liquid diet in about a week. Nervous, but ready! Good luck to you all. Anyone interested in a pen pal for support!

      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.
