Try your Protein Shakes and find variety cause your tastes will change after, so bought variety single packs to have around and unflavored and of course Unjury chicken Soup flavored is a real keeper. You will want a NON straw Water cup you will take everywhere and measure your water. That will be most likely your first week or two home. As you get closer they will suggest chewable vitamins supplements you will need to take after, so I bought mine right before and had ready. After you move off liquids they will add soft pureed which pudding Jello such then soft Proteins egg and soft meats like refried Beans. So I made sure I had a dozen eggs, pudding mix, milk for shakes, can of refried beans, and jello mix. Then I have just went week by week now. Next week is my one month visit, so I have not bought nothing until after that appointment as they will add some more foods back, then I will pick up on way home. When buying remember about 1-2T will be all you eat, so you may think of ice cube trays to freeze servings of like rest of the refried beans. I tried those little half cup tupperware things but the ice cube trays were perfect then I Ziploc them. Hope this helps out some and congratulations, it is exciting and nerve racking until it gets here but well worth it!!

Just pray and keep the faith.I had my surgery Tuesday May 26.My surgery went good,I had no complications.I think in some cases the doctor wants to make sure your heart is strong enough to handle everything. I think its a good thing.You will be okay.

      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.
