I am scheduled for the 21st :) I started my Optifast diet yesterday (3 shakes 2 soups) and so far haven't been as miserable as I thought I would be, maybe because i'm excited to get through this!

I think the excitement is what's helping me through it all too! I've been in such a great mood since they called and gave me the appt! Usually I wake up feeling so full no matter what time I've eaten, but today I don't feel full or hungry! Yay lol

My preop diet is 4-5 shakes and 2 fruit servings and 1 veggie.

It takes me a while just to finish my 2 shakes, I can't imagine so many lol.

I'm the 28th in San Antonio. I go tomm for my preop appt. and get all my preop diet supplies. Super excited!

Yay good luck!!!

I am scheduled for today 9/9! Though I am excited about a new beginning I am also very nervous about having surgery. Good luck to you all!

Good luck today! I am so excited but I know the nervousness will kick in closer to the date. But it will all be worth it in the end!

      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.
