I am scheduled for the 12th of May as well, I am nervous and scared. I have had a hard time with the liquid diet and have been cheating with low carb beer a few times. I am hoping it won't be a big deal and the medical office said it should be OK. I have friend who did the same surgery a few years ago and she was not even given any pre - op restrictions.

@@ReadyFourChange, My surgery was last week, Thursday the 7th. The surgery went very well and the recovery has been easier than I thought. I won't lie, the first few hours after awakening from surgery were not fun. My surgeon wanted me up and walking within a hour after being in my room. That first walk was miserable!!! However, it only got easier from there.

Good luck to you!! :-)

      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.
