Squeeeeeee it's almost time! Surgery date is on Nov. 1, 2017. My doctor had no pre-op diet other than 24 hours prior. I kind of started early by doing liquids/shakes for 2 meals a day plus one tiny real meal for the last 3 days. Tomorrow is all liquids/shakes. Good luck to all my November sisters and brothers!!!

So exciting! I just had my pre admin testing this morning. All set and ready to go! Just ordered some cheap slippers off Amazon to bring with me to the hospital. Oh and by the way - day 6 of this liquid only diet - OVER IT! This sucks. But I'm doing it! 9 more days and counting...!!!

November 7 for me too. I’m in IL. Tomorrow is my last day of regular food then I’m on the clear liquid diet until the 7th.

I don’t have to do Clear Liquids till the day before. Right now I’m allowed yogurt and cream Soups. But I also have to do a bowel prep, night before surgery.

It's really interesting how much the pre op diet varies from surgeon to surgeon. I'm only required to do no carbs for the first 4 days and then liquids for 3 days prior to surgery.

I'll count myself lucky to only have to do 3 days of liquid [emoji23]

I'm jealous! I have to do 14 days clear liquids! Only thing getting me through is the hard boiled egg whites I'm allowed. Tomorrow is the halfway point though.

      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.
