Hello, My surgery is scheduled Sept. 23rd. I am excited and nervous at the same time however I just keep thinking of the positive! I have a friend who had the surgery and she is doing a great job! She's my inspiration and also lends a big hand when my brain spits a million questions out! Keep in touch to let us know how your journey goes! Best of Luck!

Seems to be a growing list of 9/23!!!! Congratulations!! We need to keep an eye on each other!!

My surgery is tomorrow (9/3/14) at noon! My surgeon (Dr. Atkinson in Las Vegas) had no pre-op diet, I just can't have anything to eat or drink after 10pm the night before surgery. All he asked was for me to NOT gain weight (which I have not). But I got to reading the paperwork tonight and it said "This surgery is usually completed using laparoscopy alone, but circumstances may necessitate conversion of the operation to an open approach for your safety." I am wishing I had a pre-op diet now, but I followed all of his instructions.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and just wanted to share my surgery date as well... Sept 11th is the day for me. Sooo many emotions running through me. All I have to say is, there are so many people's lives about to change this month. Looking forward to a healthier me. Is there anyone in the Houston area? Congrats everyone!

My surgery is also tomorrow at noon in Boise Idaho. And my surgeon didn't have up a diet plan scheduled for me just not to gain weight.

      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.
