I was approved yesterday. I start pre-op liquid diet on 3/12 and surgery is scheduled for 3/26. This is the year of shedding. I lost my mother in December after a horrendous battle with brain cancer. As much as I love her, she added a lot of negativity to my life. I quit "closet smoking" on January 15 - cold turkey. I'm slowly weaning off my psych meds. Now it's time for the physical weight to be shed. This is MY year. Good luck to all!

I got my dates confirmed. March 16 begins my liquid diet, March 17 pre-op and March 30th surgery. OMG, I can't believe the wheels have been set in motion. In a matter of weeks, my life will change for the better.

Hi @@sassycas45, how ironic! I was just thinking I don't have a surgery buddy, like I've been seeing on the forums. This is great that we have the same dates and same goals. What are you doing to prepare?

      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.
