My surgery is September 12th. Pre-op starts 8-22. I have to do 3weeks. I'm with you -RSM.... this is going to be tough. Especially since my wedding anniversary is 9-3 and my husband and I are going out of town then we are headed to Cali on 9-7. I get back on the 10th then surgery is the 12th. I was telling my husband how in the world am I going to do this [emoji24][emoji36]

A few of us on the 6th now! My surgeon says no pre-op diet is necessary, but seeing that just about everyone else is going to be on one makes me want to do it anyhow.

Mine says I should do 3 week no carb and 3 days full liquid right before. Apparently these help shrink the liver so the surgery is a little easier and can be moved out of the way. Can possibly help avoid an extra incision.

      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.
