My date is 21st July and my friend is with the same surgeon in Adelaide on the 20th. I am on the low end 36 BMI but suggested 2-4 weeks 2 x Optifast and chicken or fish and veggies (no potatoes, sweet potato. Going to give the four weeks my best shot as means I will be closer to a new me.

Have only told my partner and my friend. My family kinda judged my cousin who had it done 12 months ago and while I expect their view might change for me I am not going to take that chance. I want only supporters around me.

I am still a month away and can't wait.

@@podg25 I'm only 35 BMI then I was loosing weight by change of food habits because I didn't know if I was gonna get approved but yes I did so I had lost weight. I'm trying to eat now to gain a few before I do the liquid diet I don't know if I'll do the two weeks because I'm not at the BMI I was and don't want to be too small, just my crazy thinking that they'll think I'm too small but I have other qualifications like hbp, sleep apnea,etc. I'm just lost here

I have a couple of other conditions too, I hold my weight all over and am a short arse, only 5ft1 so. I am a little nervous too if I loose too much, but weight loss is usually slow for me so would be a miracle if I lost that much that quickly.

I'm July 20 IF all of my tests are good. I have appointments for everything. Had a little problem with the sleep study being scheduled for 7/26 but they had a cancellation so I'm having that done next week. Now my issue is the pulmonologist can't see me till 7/23 to get my results. I'm hoping I can get the clearance without having him go over the results with me. I also have to do Optifast for 2 weeks. I see the surgeon again on 6/28 so they'll probably tell me then what the diet consists of. I'm excited about this surgery. I've never been able to lose weight on my own. The most I ever lost was 27lbs. I'm 5'5, 257 with no health issues so my bmi alone qualifies me for the 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.
