It's so exciting!! I had my pre-op yesterday too! My surgery is next Monday, the 28th! I'm on day two of my preop diet, and while it isn't exactly easy, I know it's all for the better, and in a few weeks I'll be eating "solid" food again :). Good luck to you!!!!!

How long since your first consult with the surgeon to your pre op? I have my first consult coming up on Monday and I'm curious the time frame I'm looking at

I met with the surgeon foe my first consult on January 8th. Insurance required six months of classes. My last class was June 20, and I got my surgery date that day. Insurance approval took about a week (I have united healthcare). Pre admission testing July 14, pre op appt July 21, and surgery is in three days :)

Thank you everyone! I've been on this journey for a few years so I couldn't compare it as mine was adolescence until I turned 18 and now I'm 20, it's finally all gone through! I got my operation date today also, 6th October, bit of a wait but, it's so worth it! Good luck everyone x

      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.
