I think waiting to get approval is like the worst part so congrats on getting over that hurdle! I have to finish all of my pre-op testing before they will even give me a surgery date. Sucks lol

My surgeon says she does not require a pre-op diet. They initially wanted me to cut calories a great deal so it wouldn't be such a shocker to me. I was concerned about the diet because it was coming down to the last minute! They told me to eat really light tomorrow (day before procedure) and nothing after midnight. :)

Wow! That is fast! Congrats! Did you already do a pre op diet?

Congratulations on your surgery date! Very exciting way to begin the new year and this new chapter of healthy living. I am just two months out and still figuring it all out, but I am so happy! Good luck to you -- keep us posted on how you are doing and don't forget to walk like crazy afterward. It really helps!

      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.
