My surgery is march 3!! I'm meeting with the surgeon to sign final consents tmw. And he will probably tell me to start the liquid diet. I'm scared of that too! But it's gonna be worth it :)

I hope everyone's surgery is successful and that we all come out okay.

Cause I am legit terrified lol

Congratulations to my fellow March surgery pals! My date is Mar. 3. I started the pre-op diet yesterday. So far I am doing well. I had pre-op testing with nothing to eat or drink until a little past noon yesterday. The upper GI was last, so maybe the barium drink had me feeling full, but I wasn't really hungry last night. So far today I am doing fine. I can have 4 Meal Replacement drinks, or three drinks and 1 high Protein Protein Bar each day. I can have sugar free Jello and popsicles, but not red ones. I can have broth, and the flavored non calorie Water. So far I had one Popsicle. They say the first 4-5 days are the hardest. i had my mind set on the pre-op diet before I started it, and started replacing a meal or two each day with the Protein Drinks so it wouldn't be so hard.

Best wishes for success to you all!

Just dropping in to say hi and wish you all the best. I was my surgeons last Feburary surgery on the 27 th. It's actually going easier than I thought. I had a cough and cold so that made things interesting.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
