My surgery is on April 4th and I am on day 3 of my pre-op diet. I am not feeling nervous yet, but I go in for my pre-op testing at the hospital this Friday and I think that is when all the pre-surgery nerves will set in. Congratulations on your new journey!

April 9th is my day too! I am a band to sleeve conversion and I am very much looking forward to it. Call me crazy, but I am excited to start my pre-op "Liver Shrinking Diet". I'll start on 4/2. My diet is a liquids only, but is not difficult for me when I'm in this mindset. I follow the rules when it comes to surgery because I want everything to go as smoothly as possible (as much as I can help it). Plus, the pre-surgery weight loss is pretty great too. ;)

Good luck everyone!

I'm another April 9th sleeve buddy! I have a 10 day pre-op diet that is 3-4 shakes a day plus a small meal of Protein and veggies. Everything has to stay under 870 cals for the day.

I've been taste testing caffeine free teas because warm liquids seem to keep me fuller longer. I also have a spreadsheet worked out to keep track of my calories and plan out my meals. I'm very much looking forward to my pre-planned dill pickle each day at 4:30 LOL!

My surgery is April 7th and I have the same emotions. Mostly I'm excited but when the actual day is here I think I'm gonna be a mess! Lol! I am on my 5th day of my 2 week liquid diet. Is not been as terrible as I thought it would be besides the diarhea. As far as hunger goes, you stay full if you drink lots of Water and broth. In the end it will all pay off. Good luck on your new adventure!

      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.
