I'm scheduled for September 23. Was scheduled for August but had to be put off due to family conflicts. Your day is right around the corner! How exciting (and anxiety provoking ????). Best wishes. Feel free to message me anytime if you need someone to talk to or to pray for you!

I'm so glad I found this site! I'm scheduled for September 21. I've only had one or two panic moments so far, but I suspect the liquid diet that starts on Monday may impact that number. I know I'm making the right decision, but I can't help feeling overwhelmed at times. I'm thankful for this site/app and all of you who are willing to share your experience; it helps me feel less nervous and alone!

Welcome! We're surgery buddies, btw. Mine's Sept. 21 also! I can't believe we only have a little over two weeks!

That's exciting! What does your pre-op diet look like? My doctor is having me do 2 weeks of 3 Protein Shakes, 1 cup raw/steamed veggies, and a frozen dinner that's 300 calories or less.

@@nnv I feel bad saying this while everyone else is suffering, but my surgeon isn't making me do a pre-op diet. I'm just supposed to do Clear Liquids all day the day before and take a nice bottle of magnesium citrate.

Don't feel bad! Every surgeon is different and I'm totally ok killing my sugar intake before surgery rather than adding that to my recovery too.

Had surgery yesterday morning and I am home recovering. Anyone else have issues with gas? Most painful part so far. Any recommendations? Also on food? What did you get down the first few days? Help! I do not like being in pain! ????and I don't want to get sick.

      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.
