I plan to go back to work the day after I go home. My surgery is August 4th.

Hi All! I'm scheduled for August 6th. I agree that time seems to be crawling by. My surgeon has me starting the shakes/liquid diet a week from tomorrow. I'm tempted to pig out on all my favorite junk foods that I'll never eat again (at least not for a LOOOONG time) but I know I'd hate myself afterward. It's taken me months to lose 10 lbs and I'm sure without too much effort I could gain it back in a week! Been reading about the regret some folks feel immediately post surgery, like they've made a huge mistake by getting sleeved. Also heard from folks in a local sleeve support group to expect substantial Hair loss. Trying to stay positive and feel empowered about doing this but definitely a little scared. Can anyone relate??

I attempted it but had no desire for those foods. On day 5 of my pre op diet.

Hello,

So I've been reading a lot of the post on here and I haven't posted anything myself just because I wasn't sure if it was even going to happen but I finally got my surgery date yesterday yay!!! My surgeon is requiring me to be on a liquid diet from now until my surgery date. Does anyone know if its possible to lose 15 pounds before August 6th??

Absolutely! The pre-op diet will do it.

I wish I was already on my pre op diet! LOL! I have to do an entire week of liquids and then Clear Liquids the day before surgery. It still seems so far off but August 9th will be here before I know it.

I am ready...my preop diet is a bit different...I have a 14 day high protein/low-carb diet....I start on 7/29/15.

This sounds the same as the one I will be following-when you get started on it would you mind letting me know how you find it please? I will be starting mine on 4th August. ????

Will do????

I am watching nothing but Netflix for the next few months. I am on day three of liquid diet and these food commercials are killing me...slowly.

      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.
