July 8th for me. I don't have to do any diet before, just eat a light meal the night before. I am having a colonoscopy the end of June and I have to be on liquids for the day before that, so I think I will just stick with liquids until the day of surgery. I have already given up carbonated drinks. Now I need to practice not drinking Water 30 mins before and after eating. Good luck to everyone. I am so excited I could bust. :D

Hi all, I just got my date, July 22nd. Cant come soon enough. I have been on the pre-op diet since may the 8th. I have to start drinking 3 shakes instead of 2 and a meal. Liver needs to shrink more. Good luck to us all.

Has anybody started getting prepared for surgery? By that I mean getting the liquids, Proteins etc.,?

I'm at Walt Disney World celebrating our anniversary and as soon as we get home this weekend, I'm hopping on the liquid diet. It's not required yet but makes sense to me. July 1st surgery for me.

July 22nd here. Seems like time has slowed to a standstill ever since I got my surgery date. Practicing sipping Water, trying different Protein shakes, and OD'ing on Bariatric Pal posts and YouTube videos in the meantime.

July 22 for me as well. I am feeling the same way, as if it will never get here. I dont want to keep thinking about the food I wont eat ever again or for a long while. Im down a few pounds ..... gaining and losing the same five or ten over and over. Dont want to keep having " food funerals" lol. I get so excited when I get dressed, because I wonder is this the last time I will wear this before I lose weight? Soo motivating.

      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.
