I'm scheduled for aug 4. Just started a 6 week per op! So far it's been hard but mainly because I'm on holidays right now for a wedding! I'm home next week so hopefully I can kick it into high gear!

After 7 years of back and forth...Aug 7th is my date! So excited but freaking out a little. Had to do a pre-op education class, EGD, two psyc visits and a 6 month supervised diet. Lots of hoops but here we are! Then the hubs goes in Aug 28th!

How is everyone doing with they pre op stuff!? How do you guys feel? Excited nervous anxious.....and doubt?? I am august 11th and I am feeling a bit nervous LOL but really excited

I am "tentatively" scheduled for Aug 5th. I have so many emotions over this surgery I'm at the point i just want to get it done and over so I can be healthy. Mainly I'm nervous my insurance company won't approve me in time and I'll have to push up the surgery date.

      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.
