I'm 6 days away! I'm getting really nervous as well. When people ask me "are you excited about your surgery"... I'm having trouble spittin out a "yes". Trying to stay positive and I'm about to download a book I was told would help me stay positive. I just never thought the time would come an now it's here! I cant wait to lose weight! Good luck to everyone! :)

So I went today and got my upper GI done ( that was awful)!! And my blood work done. So I was told last visit that I would not need to do a pre-op diet because of my BMI being on the low side, so I have been happy about that......until today!! I was told today that I have to start the pre-op diet, THAT SUCKS!! I mean slap in the face unprepared!! So all day I've wrapping my brain around it, that's how I work. If I am aware of something I just get ready and go with it, but when it just jumps out at me it sucks!! So I went and bought some lean cuisines, shakes and Popsicles and tomorrow it starts!! Good luck to me and everyone else!!!

Wow! I wonder why they decided to put you on one? Preop diet sucks but I hope everyone is doing well with theirs :) I've found that stopping at gas stations for different Protein Shakes is helping me. Almost like stopping at a fast food place to eat? Kind of? I had my official preop today. 80 hours til surgery! Ahh...I just panicked saying that lol!

      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.
