I'm getting dressed for my pre-op appointment. My surgery date is 9/8 and I'm ready and anxious to get it over and done.

I'm in Eastern Virginia and just found this forum so I'll reply after I've read some more topics.

I'm September 8th struggled through pre-op diet but I'm patiently waiting. I am nervous too don't want to talk myself out of surgery

My date is September 9, I'm pretty sure I'm exaggerating how bad this diet is, but I'd honestly rather eat Brussels sprouts than any of these nasty drinks and Protein Bars :/ hopefully this last week goes by quickly!

My surgery is September 8. Just had my pre-op appointment with surgeon yesterday and everything is GO! My pre-op diet was optional but I'm doing 2 shakes a day and one light meal.

It's been such a long lead up to the surgery it seem like it won't ever get here. I started the process in May and insurance company require 3 months of diet counseling and a chat with a psychologist.

Now I'm getting the last bits together for post surgery liquids and cleaning out the fridge.

Good luck Alicia. Big eating changes ahead. But at least we won't feel like we are starving. Can't wait to stop feeling hungry all the time.

TOMORROW! Today is all liquids and getting ready for tomorrow. Gastric sleeve is outpatient but knowing how I react to anesthesia I'm packing for an overnight stay.

My husband finally admitted that he is scared. I'm scared of the pain afterwards and for some reason the tests after surgery is frightening.

      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.
