I'm so excited! My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 9th but I'm supposed to start my 14 day liquid diet on Thanksgiving. :(

Anyone else starting that day?

No, I'm starting the Monday after, for surgery on Dec 14. You can do this! Sip your Protein Shake (or whatever your pre op plan is) and enjoy the company of your loved ones! Thankful for our new, healthy lives!!

LOL! Rough is right but I will be with my family so I guess I can sip my shake while they eat. Can I spike my shake? :)

I'd say yes but I am sure your surgeon would say otherwise

Had my pre op appt. on Nov. 25th and my Dr. said I could start my liquid diet today. So yay, I had thanksgiving yesterday. Today and until my surgery it's liquids only. Going to be hard but so worth it in the end. Shits about to get real!

I start pre op Monday. Sadly, I did have some food funerals yesterday and today. But, looking forward to tackling my new life very soon!!

Mine is December 9th too. I've tried to avoid food funerals (food is my abusive but persuasive ex!) but it's been tough. My surgeon said a full liquid diet isn't necessary, but is a good chance to find liquid Protein that I like, and gets me into appropriate habits. I've been allowing myself one small meal a day. We don't have family locally so yesterday wasn't too tough, just a nice turkey dinner!

Hi Kym! No my doctor only has us do 3 days preop 2 shakes and a healthy meal. Are you nervous? I read these posts like everyday just trying to see what to expect. I would love to go thru this journey with you!!

      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.
