I start my semi-liquid diet this Sunday, the 24th. I am nervous, excited, worried. It's like a roller coaster ride. You go through so much to get to this point, you are afraid you will fail.

I know this surgery is a tool; a tool to help me keep things under control and make the best choices. I'm happy about the Feb. 8th date for surgery, but my worries plague me.

I have 5 weeks of Opti Fast and starting my third week. It will work fine.

Some days are harder than others but you can do it. Keep busy , drink a lot

And keep telling yourself you can do it.

I actuaally find it easier than I thought

So I've noticed such a wide difference in the way docs prep for surgery. I'm having a revision done for Gerd. For my sleeve it was a liquid diet 24 hrs before. For the bypass it's 3 days. I'm seeing some on here stating two weeks.

Some questions:

1.) have they stated how long your hospital stay will be? Mine states one night, for my sleeve I was only there 12 hours

2.) have you received your plan for eating after surgery?

I actually am flying in that morning. Having the surgery done, then flying home later that same evening. Since my flight is short they said they are okay with me going home. I am just having the sleeve done though

My Bari program has a two week pre-op diet with 5 Protein Shakes a day with a list of soft Protein foods you may have 6 servings of per day. If you have a bypass your hospital stay is 3 days. They advise against any nicotine, alcohol, or caffeine use before or after your surgery. They believe this is the healthiest way to be after your surgery.

      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.
