So, July 25th is the magic day just awaiting insurance approval. I'm so filled with mixed emotions. Excitement, fear, anxiety, anticipation....which I think is pretty normal. So many changes in all of our lives. I begin my pre-op diet on July 11. It became real today when I got all of my diets from Phase ! through Phase IV so now I just wait. Anyone else at the end of July?

Ha, ha. I was thinking you got a date w/ the opposite sex (or whomever you want to date). I guess I can tell where my mind is (LOL). My date is July 24th. We will be pre-opting & post-opting at the same time. I'm kinda scared about the recovery phase mostly. I will look forward to not always being hungry. I hope I can break the life-long habit of drinking with meals. I don't want to be fat anymore. Its giving me bad health & has ruined my confidence. Good luck in all your weight loss endeavors.

      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.
