Zelda. You are June 9th right? Me too. My doc is only requiring one day of Clear Liquids for me for preop. He has different requirements if your bmi is over 40.

I'm ready to roll!

Well it's official my date is June 11th. I start all liquids next week. I was really hoping for an earlier date, but that's ok it will go by fast.

TLawre2 I am on June 10th! I am so excited. Do you have to do a liquid diet before surgery?

My surgery is June 4th . Starting my pre op diet on Wednesday. Getting very excited!

I started mine early on Monday. It is very hard when food is all around you! The shakes are satisfiying and filling but the mind wants more! That is the hardest to fight! All in all I am VERY excited! Nut and cardio clearence tomorrow! Recently had a stress test so I should be good there. Still smoke free and not missing them too much. My feet and knees are aching right now so walking is tough right now. Hoping when some of this weight is gone it will get better and I can be active again!

So want to ride bikes with my granddaughters and run with my grandsons! 2 weeks to go!YAY!

      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.
