Just waiting for my doctor's office to get my approval letter... I'm not sure why BCBS of TX is so ancient when it comes to technology these days, lol. I should be having mine in a few weeks though, I bought everything I need pre-op and am ready to do this liquid diet. Even got my post-op meds/nutrients ready to go.

I'm so ready to do this.

Good luck everyone!!! :)

Hi All,
I have surgery on Monday the 11th and I'm very nervous ! I hate the thought of surgery and going under . I wish the anxiety would go away , I want everything to go smooth ! My brother had it a year ago and he did great ! I'm hoping for the same! Good luck everyone

      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.
