So I am super excited! I have waited for this for so long! I'm also very nervous. This pre-op diet is awful..I don't think I'm losing much weight. I'm scared I will be hungry after the surgery and ruin it. Ahhh anyone else have crazy feelings going through their minds!?

Congrats on getting your date! My surgery is tentatively scheduled for June 30. I had my EGD today, which was my last big test to pass. I'm nervous too, but all the success stories on here encourage me. Excited and nervous at the same time!

I'm going in for surgery tomorrow morning. I also haven't lost much weight on pre-op, but my PA said not to worry about it.

My nerves haven't fully kicked in yet, but I don't think I'll be able to sleep much tonight!

Congrats. June 17th is my 1 year surgiversary date.

I reached goal at 9 months and am at 132 and maintaining now.

Pre op diet was not hard for me because I was so ready to do this. I was 100% liquid diet from the 10th to the 16th. Surgery first thing in the morning of the 17th and home the afternoon of the 18th.

No complications. No hunger. Normal progression of stages of food and average weight loss with all the stalls as described etc.

You can do this. It's all worth it. I'm 6 pounds under goal and have great restriction and keep a very healthy diet.

Good luck to you and use this forum for support.

      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.
