Hi xojessny, I am having my surgery on May 19th. How has the pre-op been going for you? I was on the May 20th thread. There are a few of May 19 sleevers there too.

It's going ok for me as well. Suger-free slurpie sounds divine! I am beginning my 4th week of the post-op diet. So tired of the Protein shakes, my buds need something else. I'm allowed two cups of veggies or non-fat Soup. I've opted for Tomato. what are you able to have on your post op diet? I've learned that there are different pre-op diets on this forum.

I am going to the pre-admission testing today. They said I'll be meeting with my anesthesiologist, run some more tests that weren't done at the medical clearing testing. Have you had yours yet? I'm a bit nervous but eager to go through with it.

Hi xojessny,

Pre-testing was a snap! Ekg, anesthesiologist, chest x-rays and blood. I was in and out in 90 mins. Hope yours goes well today.

Yes. It's 3 days liquid only. Protein Shakes, chicken broth, sugar free Popsicles (no red or purple) and Jello. I've heard most people have a much longer preop diet but it includes some foods correct?

      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.
