I'm August 19th. So glad I didn't have to do a liquid diet, then again I may have lost more than 18 pounds of I had. Either way I'm ready to rock.

My surgery date is set for August 19th. I am on day six of my pre-op clear liquid diet. There is a list somewhere on here of what you will need at the hospital. I found that interesting. There are definitely things on there I would have never thought of like chapstick and gasx. I will get everything ready for surgery this coming week and weekend. A friend of mine is driving two hours to stay at my home and take care of the kiddos while I am at the hospital (with the Mr.) and my church has put up a sign up sheet for meals for my family for the week after surgery (they don't all know what surgery, just that I am having surgery). I have been cleaning non stop for the last week to get the house ***** and span so I can come home to a relaxing environment (if that is even possible with a four year old and eight year old, lol!) How is everyone doing here?

hmmm. did it sensor me? That wasn't a swear word at all, lol. I just meant clean...

I know my surgery day is fast approaching...... I have gone through all the steps, doctors appointments, my pre-op diet, I just feel like it hasn't totally hit me as a reality. When I do think about this overwhelming anxiety comes to me. I know it's just the thought of surgery. I am, however, super excited about the outcome afterwards. I wish it was here and I was healing already. LOL I love this website. I have spent countless hours the past couple months reading over everyone's experiences, stories, concerns, questions. I just have to throw a big THANK YOU out there to everyone on this site and who take it seriously. I know I haven't posted to much but I have definitely read a whole lot, and it has helped me prepare for this so really thank you.

When is your surgery? I cannot believe mine is in 3 days! Feels like forever ago I started all of this and now it's finally here. I'm looking forward to the changes that are going to happen. I hope to be as successful as I can be and do things I've never done. Good luck to you

Hello All. Just started my liver shrink diet today. I saw my surgeon yesterday and was nervous. He was awesome. answered all of my questions and even drew a pic of my incision sites. I thought with the liver shrink diet I was only going to have Clear Liquids, Jello, SF pops. I am allowed to have salad(just salad) with FF dressing,1/2-1 cup of cooked non starchy veggies and small fruits as well. I also will have to drink 4 Protein Shakes and a frozen dinner entree for dinner. I am not too thrilled with the Entrees because I prefer to have fresh meals. I will call my surgeon's office today and see if it is okay for me to have a lean Protein and veggies instead.

I am so excited about my August 26th appt and it is coming fast. I hope all goes well with everyone and may you have great WL success.

      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.
