June 15th is my date. pre-op complete, begin diet on 6/8. It's getting real!!

I've not told anyone other than immediate family. I'm curious to see how it plays out at work. I'm taking vacation since I have some carryover to use so I've not had to tell anyone at all at work.

My surgery is June 12 - one week from tomorrow. But I still haven't got final approval from my insurance. I'm a little worried but dr office said it will be fine. I hope they are right. I'm so psyched up. Start my pre op diet in the morning. Only liquids for the next week. I'm just going to try to keep busy all week. Hopefully the week will pass quickly and my approval will come through. I have my fingers (and everything else) crossed.

same date as me !

My family keeps asking me if I'm getting nervous and the answer is No! I'm excited! I just watched a video of my sons wedding from 3 weeks ago and I think I would have been in tears after watching myself if I didn't know my date was so close. Are you getting nervous yet?

My date is June 15th. I started my preop diet Monday and a modified version the week before. So far I have lost 10 pounds. I'm so ready. Not nervous at all, just impatiently waiting and anticipating a great life ahead with half of me gone!

      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.
