I had my pre-op yesterday...eek! Met with the exercise physiologist which was really interesting, he broke down my body fat and composition and gave you an idea based on your lean body mass what your ideal goal should be, which was a lot more realistic than the stupid BMI chart. Also found out I am only going to be in the hospital one night! That surprised me, but apparently they don't perform the Leak test anymore which is awesome because contrast taste like sh*t lol

Hi. I'm excited also. I have a surgery date scheduled for 9/20. I know this is not going to be easy so I wanted to join a support group where there are people going to have the surgery around the same time so I'm glad I found one.

I started my liquid diet Monday, August 29, 2016. My surgery day is September 12. The diet is really hard but I have to push through it. I just don't like the Protein Shakes (and I've tried many of them). I'm sticking with Premier because they seem to be the best nutritionally, plus I can ALMOST stand the taste! Good luck to everyone and we'll all meet back here with wonderful results.

My date is September 12th! I've only been on the pre-op diet for a couple of days, but the last two days I've had a pretty bad headache, which I've read is pretty normal. But other than that, I've been doing ok. I'm a little nervous because the weekend is coming up and I tend to struggle on the weekend when I'm dieting. But I'm going to try to stay busy and focused on my end goal. I'm so excited. It's been a long journey. 10 more days!

Well I had my surgery today at 7:30. The doctor said it went amazing and I'm telling you the pain is barely existent. I started drinking Clear liquids around 4 o'clock today and I've been walking a lot which definitely helps with the pain. The only downfall is how extremely dry and mouth is been LOL. I guess it's a small price to pay

On post op day two. Came home from the hospital last night. Today woke up a little more sore but I also haven't taken any of my pain pills. Walking helps with pain.

The weirdest part is being hungry but not really. I guess this is the head hunger everyone talks about. I couldn't imagine eating right now but when my fiancé eats around me I'm definitely eyeing it haha

      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.
