Scared, not sure what I should have at home to eat afterwards. I have followed the pre-op diet and have lost 19 pounds but I am scared. Guess it is just the pre-op jitters.

Is there still a group that is August banders?? I would like to join that thread so I have a few buddies to talk to about progress.

Wish me luck.

Hi Jenjuice,

I have a date of August 31st. I am so excited and a little nervous knowing this is a lifelong change. I didn't have to do any pre-op diet so at least you know what it will be like for you afterwards. Please get in touch if you need to chat.

Regards,

Karen

I'm August 31st as well, go for my pre-op today, 7 days into the Optifast routine. Feel good, a little light headed but ready to move forward. Good luck to everyone with the procedure coming up.

      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.
