I did. Mine was moved from July 21 to June 20. I had mentally prepared for the latter date and was offered to move the date up and a jumped at it. Then thought : oh my, no Father's Day brats and cheeseburgers. I then realized why I'm in my situation. My first thought was food, not how much healthier I would be. Still lots of battles ahead, but we're on our way. Good luck!

Yay for another kiwi! :D yes I'm on the pre op diet. I found yesterday hard too. I am finding the sugar withdrawal is really tricky to manage too.

Yeah, it's amazing how quick taste changes giving up sugar. I gave it up for a couple of months about a year ago and after the withdrawal and Craving stopped I was amazed at how much better I felt and how much more flavoursome everything was. Things I didn't think we're that sweet originally tasted sickly sweet. Unfortunately I let it creep back in and was soon back to my old sugary ways. :)

It is soooo easy to do that too!! I have cut out sugar a few times and then slipped back into the sugar craving slopes. Which has brought me to gastric bypass surgery. :-)

Same here! I'm secretly hoping for dumping syndrome in a strange way to keep me away from the sugary things! Lol.

      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.
