NYU in Manhattan. I have a 2 week liquid diet. My original surgery was scheduled for 9/24 - but my EGD revealed a stomach full of ulcers,so I wasn't cleared for surgery. I was already on the liquid diet for a week at that point. I've kept to a very light diet since then - so it's been almost a month - with another month to go. I'll keep on my light diet and re-start liquids on 10/26. Hoping my next EGD shows no more ulcers... I'm tired of waiting

which hospital are you going to? i had mine done at Brooklyn Hospital. do you have to do the pre-op diet?

I'm on Long Island, too! Near Stony Brook. But my surgery is in NYC on 11/9.

I'm closer to the city, i'm in Queens :)

@@Starting to shrink I love on eastern Long Island. What about you?

fingers crossed for you!! good luck!

      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.
