I'm on my 2 week low carb diet. I don't have to do a liquid diet before the surgery. But I've already lost 7lbs and my blood pressure is down. Cannot wait until Sept 3!

Day 3 of my pre-op diet. Not too bad. I have a dull headache, but I'm guessing that could be from no caffeine. Most difficult for me is downing all of the Vitamins my doctor requires. Can't imagine how I'll get them down post-op, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Right now I am focused, motivated and excited! Following this thread has been a big help in keeping me there! We Will Do This!

My surgery is set for September 8, and my doctor said just a 5 day liquid diet is all he needs. And he doesn't require the clear liquid either. Interesting how each surgeon requires different diets.

true because my dr doesn't require me to do a pre op liquid or any kind of diet only after surgery

Hello all

Well September is now knocking at our door. With all the appointments, phone calls and nail biting waiting for insurance approval it seemed to take forever to get here. Good luck to all of us.

I was called today with a surgery date of September 21st - very excited! My insurance is AvMed, I was surprised it only took 2 weeks to get approved.

Tomorrow is the big day! I was stressed about the Milk of Magnesia dose, but I got the cherry flavor, and it wasn't that bad. OTOH, I was driving back from errands when it kicked in. I was like, "Please let there be no traffic! Please no traffic!" and barely made it home in time!

Tomorrow is my surgery date as well. Need to be at the hospital at 6:30 am. It's been a long journey to get to this point and I am looking forward to getting past the surgery. I am down 15 pounds the past two weeks due to the pre-op diet (two Protein Shakes and salad with grilled chicken).

      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.
