Just got everything finalized last week for my Dec 28 surgery! excited and nervous, but mostly excited!! My husband had it done 1 1/2 years go so I do kind of know what to expect.... and I have great support from him.

Will be all liquid on Christmas, so we'll see how that goes. :/

Can you have your chewable vitamins the 2 days before surgery? My date is Dec 8th & I'm supposed to be clear liquid 1 day before surgery date.

MsMe, my paperwork says to stop all Vitamins, and certain medications like ibuprofen, one week before surgery. I know that ibuprofen acts like a blood thinner and so does some vitamins, so, I believe that is why they want you to stop these things one week prior to surgery. Of course, you should probably get this confirmed with your doctor.

Dec 28th for me too! And I'll be on my pre op diet starting 12/14 so no Christmas Desserts for me either. I'm also excited and nervous but life is still going on and so much to do at work and home that I don't have a ton of time to think about it. But I'm super excited! Happy new year to us! Best wishes on your journey!

      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.
