Does everyone have to do pre-op diet that's responded? I start mine April 21st.. I'm definitely doing the last meal thingy.. Anyone else got same idea?

I have to do 3 weeks of 5 Protein Shakes and 1 healthy meal. Then I do 1 week of Protein shakes and Clear Liquids. And yes, I'm doing the last suppers this week because I start the diet on Saturday, April 18.

I think that sounds more reasonable to follow than liquid only ... What are you gonna miss most? Me its gonna be pizza!!!????????????????????

I agree with you about cheese and sweets! That's how I got myself into this mess. I'm doing some last suppers this week but I've increased my Water and walk about 5 days a week. I just wanted to get used to these practices so it's not a shock next Saturday.

I'm a May patient. I am still asking myself if the sleeve has better results longtime than bypass. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Gastric bypass has been the go to surgery for years, with the most research and cases to back it up, kinda hard to go against the facts. But obviously it's between you and your doctor. I want/need the dumping to be my hall monitor so to speak.. And I have acid issues so no sleeve for me even if I wanted.. Good luck on your research and journey.

You guys want to hear something awesome? Ok, I LOVE pizza too... It was a weekly meal at my house. I started my pre-op diet on the 13th of March. My surgery was on the 31st. I honestly haven't had a craving for pizza (or anything unhealthy honestly) since about 5 days after I started the pre-op diet. I haven't been hungry at all since surgery. It is such a relief to be outside of surgery and know that it is working. I know I'll eventually get hungry again and I'm sure there will be some cravings but at this point it seems like this will be manageable. Wish you guys luck on your surgeries!

I have severe acid reflux. I even had surgery to prevent it. It didn't work. My surgeon said the only way to get rid of it was the bypass. From my research people seem to lose more weight with the bypass.

I'm so glad to hear that about the craving. Pizza is a weekly thing at our house too. I feel fortunate that my husband said there's no need to fix separate meals. He'll eat what I fix.

      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.
