One year of preparing, jumping through loopholes my surgery date was set fire Jan 3rd. I had already started pre diet. Received a call yesterday telling me mine surgeon wasn't going to be available for the surgery. Therefore, they needed to postpone with no date set up for surgery. My mind was mentally in the game, ready and pumped. Now this. Any suggestions on how I can deal with this? I'm deflated and want to eat everything in site. HELP. How to deal?

Similar thing happened to me. However it was due to an infection that had to be treated prior to surgery. I had completed a week and a half of pre-op diet. Lost 15 pounds. Was totally pumped and ready. Family ready job ready kids ready etc. it totally bummed me out. Dr. suggested I go back to eating I'll be at healthier because of the medication regimen required. Still don't have a new date for surgery. I'll find out after the new year. Was supposed to be sleeved on December 17. Really messed with my head. I've kept my sugar intake down. But have been eating

No choice but to deal with set back. Try to make a plan on how you will eat before you start so you don't totally slip back to your old patterns. Keep as much of the pre op diet intact if you can. Hang in there and keep me updated.

Thank you ladies for your story and comments. My plan was to go ahead, stay on the pre Op Diet so when they say go I'm ready. Just want my head in the right spot and not sure how to get back there. Good thing is I'm stubborn enough I'll make it work. Thank you again.

I was scheduled after

Thanksgiving....all psych'd up and half way through the liquid diet. I got a sinus infection and the Dr gave me a steroid shot. My surgeon cancelled my surgery because of the steroid shot and now delayed till Jan 10 :(

I think they owe you a more difinitive explanation why and why they can't reschedule with a date so you can have the motivation to stay on course. What if your surgeon left the practice etc, you may need to be regroup and start looking for a new surgeon.

      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.
