Just got my date. RNY August 25th. I see the doctor for my pre op surgery this Wednesday. He will give me all my prep stuff. The true count down has started. I started this journey the end of January when I found out I was diabetic, had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I already had sleep apnea. I asked the doctor for a referral for WLS. So I started classes the end of February. For 3 months. Then I started doing all the testing that the doctor requested. Did one pre op with the surgeon. I have lost 47 pounds. I have 80 more to go to the doctors goal. 100 to my goal. I have a 1200 - 1400 calorie doctors diet I will start Wednesday. It is high Protein low carb. Basically what will be my post op diet when I can start eating full food. I only get a 3 day true pre op diet.

      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.
