My doctor doesn't require any liquid pre opt diet except for two days prior to surgery. But I'm gonna do one on my own. I'm also going to work out at the Y. It will help with the recovery time. Will be starting my diet Monday since my surgery date is Feb 9th. One minute I'm freaking out then the next nice calm. Hate feeling like this !

Hello! Just got my insurance approval yesterday, and my assumption is that I'll have a February date! Yippie!!!

I'm having RNY. I'm getting nervous, but I'm ready for this. My pre-op diet is two weeks liquid. --definitely jealous of those that get a small meal once a day.

I finally figured out my issue, my bloodsugar is crashing in thw late afternoon/early evening to the point I pass out. I'm not diabetic, but it was suspected I had low blood sugar, when I was in high school and college. Seems 20 yrs later that it's rearing an ugly head again. Last night I passed out for 3 hrs. Calling the surgeon means delaying surgery again. Maybe by the 2nd I will have adjusted to this. Husband said no more afternoon driving for me.

@@GAWildKat Check out hypoglycemia, you may have it. There was talk here last year about this subject and one of our Gastric Bypass buddies said he carries around with him glucose tablets. There's usually precursor symptoms but checking your blood sugar is a good idea to do. My sugar started to runs a little low after my RNY procedure and I now check mine. Best of luck to you.

Congrats on the approval and wow my process to getting a surgery date took soooo much longer. I am so happy I get a small meal. Just liquids for two weeks, YIKES! but I have seen posts from many that have done it. All part of our new life and I finally see a light at the end of tunnel, have not felt that way for a long time. I so appreciate all the posts it I a really helping me to know others are in my position. How I can be so excited for something and still so anxious (scared half to death) about the process. Keep us updated when you get a for sure date :)

      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.
