Haha I completely understand! I was the same way about the certain thing. Lol. My date is the 20th and I'm on day 2 of the liquid diet. Good luck with everything!

How are you doing? I'm finding the liquids to not be too bad!

So, I had my preop appointment on Friday, and the doctor said nothing special for preop, just nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before. I'm diabetic, so must eat a light meal before bed. I know like almost everybody has a preop diet. But I should listen to my doctor, right??? I got all the tests run, got my body wash for the three day wash prep. Now I wait. Four more days!

You can do it! You should definitely listen to your doctor. Everyone's doctor had different requirements. You'll do great! :-)

Surgery date 04/20/2015! Been on pre-op diet for 8 days now. Not to hard. Had an EKG on the 9th of April at the Hospital I am having surgery. My primary Dr. called this a.m. to tell me there was some concerns with my EKG and wants me to have an echo-cardiogram (ultra sound) because with out this he will not release me for surgery. He could not be sure if he could get me scheduled for this in time before my surgery date. I cried when I got of the phone. This just one of the reasons to have this surgery is to be healthy, now my heart! Anybody else have issues with physical before surgery?

      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.
