I guess we are in this thing together. Are you all set for your surgery? I think I have finished jumping through all the insurance hoops.

Hello! I just joined because I found out yesterday that my surgery is June 27th. I am getting ready to start my pre-surgery diet. I was fine with everything till I got the call yesterday and now I'm pretty terrified. Excited but scared for the healing.

Don't stress you got this! Mine is 6/23. I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet prepping. It actually has been ok!!

Hey! My paper said liquid diet 5 days before surgery. I started today and my surgery is the 19th. Hopefully, I didn't miss them saying two weeks. I'm nervous now

No stress.. so many doctors do it different ways. Some people even get to eat a meal a day. I'm on day 3 of liquid for 13 days...I wanted to start on a weekend!!

You're fine! Every program is different; my surgeon only requires a 2 day pre-op clear liquid diet.

You haven't started yours yet? I just don't want major complications, that's what has me nervous. I'm located in Nyc, wbu?

      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.
