Started my 2 wk pre-op liquid diet today. I've had 500 calories today and a total of 112oz of liquid. Oi! I'm doing OK so far hunger -wise but this peeing every hour is for the birds! I even had to leave in the middle of a conference call at work today.... so embarrassing. LOL

July 7th for me! I'm going on vacation for July 4th so I am going to thoroughly enjoy myself ! I am getting more excited but nervous about recovery. I am praying everyone's surgery and recovery goes smoothly!

Do you not have to do a pre-op diet?

I don't have to do a pre-op diet ???? just no food or drinks after midnight the day before my surgery.

July 23rd for me. I am in the UK, so will be interesting to see how we all differ with follow ups.

I just got my official letter in the post today (with the bill :( which is the nasty bit), so it is feeling like its just around the corner. 5 weeks to day and counting!

I am getting so big I am afraid to weigh myself. Maybe I just won't until my presurgery diet starts.

I am feeling the same way. The stress of not knowing is killing me. But I found out today that I am approved!!! Just waiting for the coordinator to call me. I even told her I needed to know because today was the last day to put our work schedule in and she still didn't call me back! I called the insurance company and they told me I was approved! Hopefully I will get July 6!

Date was changed to July 7th .. Only 1 day out but this waiting sucks.. Wish it was tomorrow

I know how you feel. While I was in the options classes and when I was done and just waiting for a call from the surgeon's office, I felt like my time would never come. You have a date, that's exciting! :)

On day 3 of 2wk preop diet. Yesterday's Migraine was horrible! Today's headache is a lot less painful. I really haven't been too crazy hungry... but I have my sons birthday cake to make & a big family dinner on Sunday to make it through & I'm very worried. When I was at my preop doc appt yesterday I spoke with the PA who said I could have 1 light string cheese to help my headache and hunger as long as I didn't go over 600 calories total after having my 3 shakes & Clear liquids. That string cheese has been the highlights of my day yesterday & today...LOL. I'm also doing the Premier Protein shakes as well as Muscle Milk. I've lost 4lbs in 3 days.

I live in northern Saskatchewan, I am a teacher here. I'll be heading home to Ontario next weekend and then flying down to Texas on the 3rd.

My pre-op diet is 3 Protein shakes per day (I'm using some left over medifast shakes that I have), any G2 gatorade I want, crystal light, sugar free Jello, chicken or beef broth, lots and lots of Water, and 4 oz of chicken, tuna, or canned ham for supper. I start on Sunday! I'm excited!

      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.
