My surgery is tomorrow and I'm sooo nervous and excited at the same time!!! 2 week liquid diet was easy, shakes filled me up. The worst was drinking the Golytely for the cleanse. It was nasty!! I was told I will be coming home with a drain also, just for a week which is gonna be bad enough but I just look forward to all the positives!! So glad to be able to chat with ppl here that understand all our fears and emotions. Great ppl!!

wow! That's awesome! Wishing you a smooth surgery. Keep us posted pls

Went and purchased all my supplements and items in preparation for my surgery March 24th.. A little nervous, however I'm having my surgery done at the University of Iowa Hospital where the gastric bypass surgery was actually pioneered, so I feel I'm in excellent hands.

I have been stocking up as well. It helps so much when you have total confidence in your team.

      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.
