Oh wow so they are admitting you the day before interesting maybe I'll ask my doc about that :)

I think you are talking to me. I think it was because they have to do a antibody test the day before. Normally you can come on the day of, at 0630.

Mine is March 20th. At first it was April 18th, but then someone canceled and I was able to get their date. They called me on Tuesday, right after I had left the hospital after my last pre-op appointment. I went straight to the insurance company, and they approved me there and then. So excited. I'm getting admitted on the 19th.

March 20th for me tooooo!!!

I gained some after my initial appointment (I have extremely bad sciatica pain, so no movement and feeling sorry for myself is not a good combination) , so I'm already trying to get down as much as possible. We don't get a specific diet, just to cut back on fat, and make sure we have 12 hours between last and first meal, it gives the liver a better chance of getting smaller. They want us to try and loose 3-5kg. (about 6-10 lbs) I'm down just over 8 lbs since Monday, I need another 7 to get down to initial weight. More than that will be awesome, but not really realistic.

They told me just to maintain my weight and only do the liquid diet the day prior to surgery and for two weeks after.

      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.
