Im all set and will have surgery on December 1. I am currently on the 2 week pre op diet and in 5 days

am down 8 pounds. Thanksgiving will be TOUGH. I told my doctor that I AM going to cheat on

Thanksgiving as this will be my last one before surgery. I won't OVER DO it but I am going to have

stuffing. Very nervous but also looking forward to getting past the first week.

@@leemcel I don't have a date yet but I was approved by Cigna this week :) I have to wait until Dec 1st to hear back from my Dr about h pylori bacteria in my stomach. If I still have it I will have to do another round of antibiotics and won't get my surgery this year. The important thing is to get rid of that so I don't have any complications. If it comes back clear, I'll be able to get my December date. Just have to wait and see, and pray for good news! :D

My surgery is set for 12/15! I am excited, but also very nervous about having the surgery. Jumped thru all the hoops tho' & it is finally going to happen. I start my pre-op diet on December 1st & have been researching different Protein Drinks & shakes. I keep telling myself I can do anything for a month (liquids), & I think back on all the diets & crazy things (like hypnosis & staples in my ear) to lose weight & realize that this will be the first time that I will make a New Years resolution & actually be able to keep it! I am so ready to change my life!

My surgery date is Dec 4th. I am nervous and excited. I started my liquid diet on Thurs. So today is only my 3rd day. Its Sat morning and I woke up and thought I am going to take kids to Breakfast and then remembered never mind. Its hard to wrap my head around thinking I won't have real food again until Jan. sometime. I have 3 kids and a single mom I just don't want any complications. I just have to do this for my health. I am going to be positive. Good luck to all who have surgeries coming up in Dec. Best Christmas gift to ourselves!????????????

      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.
