April 18th! This is my first posting (I've been lurking and reading for months. :) ). I'm nervous that I'll fail, but I have to have to believe that I can do this! It seemed so far off- and now it's just over a week away. WOW, how did that happen?!!?? as far as prep goes, my surgeon has a 1400 calorie day diet but I've been using Protein drinks (1-2) a day and a small meal. It's just easier for me. My biggest hurdle is trying to get over this darn bronchitis which threatens to push my surgery back if my primary care dr doesn't clear me for surgery next week! I've talked with my work about going out for the month and this would be just a mess if I have to move it! I've been taking everything religiously- and while I'm better it's still lingering! I can't wait to get on the other side!!s

I hope you get feeling better soon! My surgery is on the 18th also and I JUST got over the flu. I went to my pre admission testing and when she took my temp I nearly passed out from holding my breath (I couldn't breathe through my nose and had to keep my mouth closed) lol. I was so scared they would push back my surgery as well. Keep us updated!

I'm scheduled for April 20th. Starting 3rd day of pre op diet. Honestly hasn't been too bad. I am down 6lbs already. Hopefully I can lose a few more before surgery.

Andi...I'm on for 4/18, and nervous,excited and rarin to go. A bundle of emotions, I'm sure like everyone else. I have had surgery before, so I know what to expect. (sort of). I have a great surgeon, an awesome nurse/coordinator, and am in good hands. I've lost 80 lbs. on my own, and 175 to go. I'm already thinking about the skin surgery. I feel great, and looking forward to feeling even better. Good Luck with your journey.

I'm not gonna lie. It's pretty terrible. I had my pre surgical tests today too so no food all day yesterday and no Water all morning. The first thing I got to consume today was barium. I wanted to vomit.

I'm very jealous of all the people on this diet that just have to have a low cal diet. I'd much rather that to no food at all!

      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.
