First day of pre-op diet. Sleeve surgery will be June 21st with Dr White in Omaha. Seems like after all the months of tests, prep and education, I am still not feeling like it is really coming soon.

Just random thoughts I guess.

I agree, mines July 5 and people keep asking "how do you feel?" And overall I'm excited and looking forward to life after it but I feel like it hasn't hit me and I don't feel anything too crazy, not too stressed and not overly excited? If that makes sense

Me too. My gastric bypass surgery is June 28th I have two hernias that will be repaired at that same time as well so I'm a little nervous about all of that taking place at once. I start my pre-op diet the 14th. I've been having health issues since January and have been on a partial liquid diet since then so I'm hoping that helps. Best wishes!

      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.
