I have a June 1st date. Only 12 days after yours but I hear 12 days makes a big difference. Will start the two week diet on May 18th.

My surgery is scheduled for the 26th. I am excited and a little nervous.

Unfortunately had to self fund since insurance wouldn't pay for it. Tricare. Really expensive but worth the end result....I hope...really nervous but happy to have others to talk to.

Hi Gracy! I have a May 19th date also. I start the pre op diet on the 5th right after my 4 hour NUT class. I am in Illinois!

Guess I am one of the lucky ones that doesn't have a pre op diet. It's still about 19 days out, but my countdown has started. So happy to hear from others that will be sleeved soon!!!

      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.
