I most likely will have an early to mid November date. I have an EGD on Oct 15th and I need to have my psych eval then I'm good to go.

My date is 11/18......and I can't wait!!! Except for my pre-op diet (YUCK!) I start my pre-op on 11/4. My doctor requires the following food:

3 Protein shakes

1 high protein/low carb meal (lean cuisine)

1 cup fresh vegies

Oh and lots and lots of Water.

I am completely off caffeine and I quit smoking a month ago!! I am so ready for my new life

It's interesting to read things that different Dr's allow and for how long with the pre-op. Mine is 4 shakes a day, that's it. No food whatsoever and lots of Water. 64oz to be exact. It's supposed to be for exactly 3 weeks prior, but I'm doing a whole month. I'm 6 days in right now.

I was just given my surgery date...November 12th. I wasn't sure if I wanted to scream with delight or cry with fear. All kinds of emotion now that a date has been givin...seems "real" now! :blink:

I am officially on the books for 11/4! I have my pre-op visit on 10/27. I need to be down 18lbs by then so I'm basically doing a liquid diet (since Monday). I'm having 3 shakes, a Cocotein and then a can of tuna with Melba crackers for dinner. Plus getting in my 30 minutes of walking.

I got insurance approval today so that felt like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. This actually feels real now and I cannot wait!

My surgery was originally scheduled for Nov 3rd, my doc office called on this past Tuesday to reschedule. My surgery is now set for October 27th. YIKES!! My mom had to reschedule her flights in to be with me, my husband had to get his time off rescheduled and I had to make sure my work schedule was good to go. Now that that is all set I think I can handle this change. =)

      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.
