Me! June 25th. I'm having it done in Pleasanton, Ca At ValleyCare.

I'm excited. Scared. Apprehensive. So ready.

And I'm wanting biscuits and gravy.

That will be my food funeral.

Isn't that strange? That and coffee.

But I'm ready for this.

I have mine on June 24th. I go for my pre-surgery meeting this morning. I am required to take my support person with me. We go over the procedure with surgeon, meet with nutritionist ect. I had all my pre-surgery medical tests last week.

This surgeon doesn't require the liquid diet before surgery any more. They used to up until a few months ago. One of the questions I'm gonna ask is what is the best diet and foods I should be eating between now and the 24th. I have already given up soda and coffee months ago and I have pretty much been sticking to high Protein, low carb diet. Although I have had my moments..

I am so excited. Can't believe the day is around the corner. Keep me posted on how you are doing!

      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.
