Hello, I finally got my surgery date and it s Nov 4th at 1:00pm, i start liquids on the Oct. 21st and Pre Op appt on Oct 23rd, I am so excited for this new chapter in my life, its been a long 6 months working up to surgery with the pre op program and all the dr appts.I never thought it was gonna happen but here it is and i couldnt be happier. I have been reading like crazy on here and have heard of some good advice. The liquid diet is gonna be a struggle pre surgery but its all gonna be worth it. The reason im so excited is with the weight loss i can actually start doing more things with my son and feel comfortible doing it, I really just want him to be proud of me and i think with surgery its gonna help that happen because ill be alot happier about myself. Thank You in advance for all the 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.
