I'm 23 years old. My social life is nothing but going out to drink and going out to eat. I start my pre op diet tomorrow. I'm freaking out a little but after reading all this, I feel better. It's definitely a life style adjustment

Hi beach lizard. I am 61 married, with son 35 who has 3 children. Wt is the one thing I have not conquered. I am having 2nd thoughts and I don't have a date yet. I am anxious about the endoscope and colonoscopy procedure as well as the possible complications. Yet bottom line, I won't know if I don't try.

Libby, both those procedures are a piece of cake. You close your eyes and it is OVER! The worst of the colonoscopy is the liquid you drink. Remember, millions have done that awful drink, lol! Good luck!

      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.
