That's my date too! I met my surgeon and they gave me a date for two weeks later!

I'm on day three of the Optifast shakes. I've given up caffeine too so I'm about ready to rip someone's head off and beat them with the soggy end.

August 23rd. Had to go through six month medically surprised weight program first and all the other hoops. I can't wait! Not looking forward to the two weeks prior. Can't imagine being on liquids for two weeks. Blegh.

12 hrs and 20 minutes until I check in to the hospital!

Just sent a request to join the fb group.

August 24th! One more week before I start my two week Optifast diet. I've stocked up on the shakes and am ready to go, can't wait!

I'm telling very few people, mostly because I'm quite a private person, but it'd be great to have a buddy or ten. I'm in Australia if that makes a difference.

Me too :-) 8/24

I am 3 days post op and doing great! I was so so nervous prior to surgery, but I'm telling you all, it wasn't as bad as expected. Pain equatable to having gallbladder removed. I'm still bloated looking, but I've went down from 242 to 229 since I started the preop diet. I love this page!!

LOL. Oh dear. Well I actually lucked out. My surgeon doesn't believe in starving us. Thank you, Jesus. He just put is on high Protein, no starches or sugars for 12 days then Clear Liquids for 48 hours before surgery. But look at it this way, you'll get a much bigger head start on your weight loss than I will. I've been on it for 5 days and only dropped 1 pound.

      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.
