Mine is all liquid but I can have a couple servings of fruit and non starchy vegetables a day. It's going to be so hard, but I am ready to get started.

I'm in Westchester ny. Not too far. I wasn't given a liquid diet or Vitamin regime pre op - other than Multivitamin and Vitamin D. Have preop appt w surgeon at start of May. Not sure if I'll hear something different then.

I have gained weight since my initial appt. I'm nervous but mostly it seems surreal.

How are you?

I'm may 6th. My team meeting is apr 17 do I guess I'll find out then what the pre-op diet will be. For now I am pretty good during the week - Protein Shake for dinner, healthy choice Soup for lunch, then normal dinner. I tend to fall off the wagon on the weekend though. Beer and wings on Saturday was not part of the plan! I've lost 13 or so in the last few months.

Hi !! Same here- I go from nervous to excited every five minutes or so. I was only told to follow a liquid diet 24 hours prior to surgery (nothing after 11pm) but that is it ...I am going to quit coffee right after my band removal and then try to stick to a liquid diet at least for a few days before the sleeve.

My surgery is scheduled for May 23rd, and I. Am both super excited and really nervous. From reading all the posts here, I know this is normal but so many emotions. This may be the hardest part.

I am having my sleeve surgery done on May 1st! I think it would be very helpful and reassuring to talk with others getting their surgery done in May.

      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.
