Hello All,

My surgery date is Nov 10th. Started my pre-op liquid diet today...so far so good, early in the game so I'm not sure how I'll feel later when the family is having dinner and I am not.

How do you all cope with that? When the rest of the family is eating and your not?

Kymcakes...I am Nov 10th as well. Day 1 kicked my butt. I got sweaty and shaky around noon, had consumed 400 calories. I tried getting a Protein Shake in then but it didn't seem to kick in. Learned I need the Jello, yogurt, pudding hitting my stomach to help. I'm going to concentrate on the 10 - 12:00 hours to get more Protein in. Dinner....I slept through it! This 1000 calorie max is leaving me very tired!

Im scheduled for November 11th. I started this whole process in June and I am super excited that the date has finally been set. I have a couple more appt. to attend prior to my surgery. One y history and physical and one with the dietitian to go over pre-op and post-op diet. Did I mention that I am super excited. I cant wait to see the new me.

Teensibaby - I am November 10th. Very similar, had my first surgeon appt in June/July-ish and all has just sailed from there. Have you started the pre-op diet yet? My surgeon requires a 2 week liquid diet, I'm on Day 6. REALLY shocked at how well it works and how quickly the body adjusts. Good luck to you, I'm just a day ahead.

Update....

I had my 1week post-op today. Feeling good, Dr said everything looks good. I've lost 12 pounds since starting the pre-op diet. He cleared me to move to the puréed stage; scrambled egg, cottage cheese, very thin sliced deli meat, banana. Can't wait. Sick of broth, pudding and yogurt. Still get tired easily, Dr said it can take 4-6 weeks to get your energy back. However, I can say that I feel like I've turned a corner and am feeling pretty damn good.

      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.
