My surgery date is Jan. 5th. I'm scared as I could be! Pre-op starts next Sunday the 21st. I think the reality is setting in!

Hello

Good Luck I was scheduled to have the gastric sleeve surgery on Thursday, (12/18/14) but didn't lose the required 10 lbs. I had a set back. Please advise me what does your pr-op diet consist of. I did the sugar free Jello, pudding, exercised, and sugar free pudding. I had a weigh in yesterday and was very disappointed. This is my second delay. I have been rescheduled to go back into the doctor's office on Jan 5th. Help I want to have this so much. I was so looking forward to having it this week. I started the process at the beginning of the year.

Help, Help, Help. I have become very depressed.

Mine is also scheduled for Jan. 5, 2015!! Twenty-one days to go... Isn't it a great way to REALLY begin the new year? New Year:NEW BEGINNINGS!! ‼️THIS IS THE YEAR‼️ No more "Ooooh, that looks/sounds delicious. I'll try one (or seven)..., followed by "Nah, I give up. I can't do it." Look how far we have all come in 2014!!

Yet, I know my own anxieties are knocking on the door to that vault in the brain, because I haven't brought my * Goddess Sized* clothes to a consignment store, Salvation Army/Catholic Charities, or given them to friends.

I keep telling myself *Yeah, keep this/that/the other (summer and fall clothes) to give her, and her, and her,* when that thought is really that old comfort-zone frenemy - "Giving In to Old Habits" - rumbling around back there. Those old, longtime learned behaviors are difficult to dispel, no matter how resistant some are to change.

Congratulations, and I will be thinking of you on Jan. 5th.......pre anesthesia. Yay to all of us!!!

I got a date of January 5th too, but the lady at the hospital told me she is gonna call next week or by the 29th with a definite time. So when she calls back with a time that's when I start my diet. It's so real right now!!!!

      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.
