I had my gallbladder out years ago thankfully. Any other dates for June 9? I have pre op June 2. I was not told about a preop diet at all. I do are a Protein Shake every day for my lunch. I was traveling last week and drove through the night. I had 2 lg Dunkin Dounuts iced coffee with espresso... Mind you I don't drink coffee regularly. Have an iced coffee from home and I was afraid of giving it up . After all that coffee and driving... No taste for it now. I was at a Traders Joes and they had Water with get this... Cucumber and parsley... I never had parsley in m drink.. And it was REFRESHING .

More scared of not eating foods. Love my water!a d I'm down Four pounds... Wahoo!

There are a lot of June 9th dates :)

Hi everyone! I am new here and have been reading as much as I can about this procedure I am about to undertake! It is scary and exciting all at once! My surgery date is scheduled for June 4th and it can't come fast enough! I officially start my liquid diet on Wednesday, but I am trying to get a jump start today! It will consist of 2 shakes and a sensible meal. Today I cheated and ate some celery! I was 249 at my first consult appointment and I have gained about 7 pounds due to quitting smoking! I feel guilty, but my nutritionist said it was fine. But I beat myself up over it!, But I am still not smoking!

Good luck to everyone !

i'm having such a hard time motivating myself. When I went in for surgery on March 17th, I did great on the 2 week liver diet and I was excited about the surgery.

Now i start my 2 week liver diet again this Wednesday (two more days) and I' worried about it and i'm not excited this time. Maybe in the back of my mind I'm just thinking that something will go wrong and It won't happen again. ugh

Congrats on the not smoking!!! That is fabulous and will make a huge difference in your health :D I had a really high A1C and have 2 1/2 weeks to get it down alittle and I have gained about 4 pounds. I guess the high blood sugars were burning through the calories lol. So ready for this surgery and to kiss the diabetes good bye!!

      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.
