I was very nervous when it was getting close. I don't have before and afters yet, but after surgery last week, I feel relaxed and very optimistic. My biggest hurdle was being prepared with what to eat/drink after. I suggest that you start stocking up a bit now. Post-op I could not take the sweet Protein shakes well, so plain that can be mixed into any drink was helpful. Also, you will forget to intake, and you don't want to get dehydration so start putting your self on a strick Water intake schedule now if you can. I suggest 8oz per hour from the first hour you wake up... like first thing, then so on until 2hrs before bed. Good luck! Keep us posted. You can do it!!

Good luck! The pre-op diet is tough but you'll get through it. Stick to the program and you'll be happy with the results!

Here I am pre-op, at close to 350, and at goal, 205.

      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.
