Hi! My surgery date is November 19! Less than 3 weeks away! Yikes! I'm excited and nervous about it. Does anyone have any suggestions for things I need to get ready prior to surgery?

You spend a long time in limbo, then BAM, it's a few days away, Then you worry if your Pre Op dieting is doing the job, and am i really prepared for when I get home after the surgery, and on and on,,,,,,,,,,,,, This journey is certainly a rollercoaster ride of emotions. :)

Hi All,

My surgery is 11/12 and I started the 2 week liquid diet on 10/29. So far I am not nervous - just focusing on one Soup day at a time. ;-) Good luck to everyone who is having surgery this month!!!

Good luck tomorrow, NewJeffrey! I'll be sending prayers and positive energy your way.

My surgery is 11/19. I'm feeling nervous...but I'm not worried about the operation...just the life changes. I know in my heart I can stick to all the eating/drinking rules, just some self-doubt creeping in.

      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.
