I'm March 2nd, not sure of the time yet, but I see the surgeon next week for my pre-op stuff hopefully they will give me my time then.

Seems like the closer I am getting to this thing the worse I am eating. It scares me a little, I am not eating a lot, but not very healthy and putting on some weight.

I am nervous about the pre-op liquids diet. Anyone else, just me?

I am scheduled for March 2nd!!!! I'm super excited and nervous at the same time. I'm scared of recovery time cause I heard so many different horror stories. I start my pre-op diet on February 16th.. I'm hoping this surgery helps me with my PCOS and I'm hoping to achieve pregnancy in the future. Does anybody have PCOS and have trouble getting pregnant?

I had a surgery date of Feb 11 (which I just realized is today :( ) but I was denied. I submitted my supporting documents that I needed and hoping that my appeal will meet the requirements and I will have a March date! I'm sending my prayers up for each of you and for me as well.

I also have PCOS and they say this surgery will help. However, I'm single and 37 soon to be 38... I don't believe pregnancy will be an option for me. But I do hope it helps for you, good luck!

@@KristyMe I'm in the same boat. Very nervous about the pre-op liquid diet. I was eating horribly but the more I stress about the liquid diet the less I have been eating this week. Leading to a huge Migraine last night. I hope today goes better, and I can make it through my two weeks. I start next week....

From what I have heard from a lot of people, this is pretty normal. In the back of your mind you are thinking, I am not going to be able to eat most of this stuff ever again. So you binge eat. You try to get in the foods you will not be able to eat. A lot of people do this and they gain some weight. It doesn't sounds like you are making yourself sick by eating so much. You are about to start a new journey and you are going to be giving up all of these treats. But I think once we have the surgery it will be easier. The temptation will be there. But in the back of your mind you will know that by sustaining from the crappy food you are losing weight and becoming a healthier person! Don't beat yourself up.

I started phase 1 of my pre-op diet. I add a Protein shake in for Breakfast and snack. The biggest thing I noticed is I miss a hot meal for Breakfast. The shakes taste fine...I like the chocolate, vanilla and orange flavors the best. When I move into phase 3, I will be on shakes with just a little veggies. I know why they want me to go through this way of eating...to get me ready for post surgery diet but I have to admit, it will be hard. I'll miss chewing. Believe it or not. I'm just trying to keep in mind that it won't be forever...it may feel like it at the time but it will be over soon. :huh: I hope we all keep in touch after the surgery. I think it will help give us the will to power through! Best wishes everyone!

I'm 29 so I'm praying it does work for me I still have a chance at pregnant. Don't give up on the chance. I've known women get pregnant well into their late 40's.

      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.
