Maybe I'm stupid, but I'm not nervous. Excited would be a better discreption. Now ask me how I feel the day before the operation and you will likely geet a different answer.

I'm on the 19th and I start my liquid diet tomorrow. Did a trial run yesterday and today. Not bad, but I'm sure it'll get old! I plan on eating a light dinner tonight before I go full force in the morning.

Best wishes to you!!!

I'm on June 16 too. Started the liquid diet three days ago and I'm a little low energy but otherwise surviving ok. A little worried about a big dinner that I have to go to for work on June 12, and really worried about getting back to work after the surgery - I can take a full week off and then a week of working from home but after that really need to show up in the office if possible.

Is anyone else kind of in shock that they're actually doing this?

Good luck to all!

Yes - June 16th for me as well. This is day 3 of the pre-op diet. It has been a little difficult, but I am determined! :)

I'm completely gung ho about getting this done. Having said that, last night my stomach starget getting upset, like I wanted to throw up from the liquid diet. I am a little bit scared that i will basically live off those same high Protein shakes for weeks after the surgery. I hope my stomach learns to tolerate them better than it is now, or the next month is going to be miserable.

All drs are different in what they require. And the current weight is also a big factor in what is required for pre-op. At least that is what my surgeon told me yesterday. The higher the BMI, the longer the pre-op diet.

      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.
