I’m scheduled for January 10th and couldn’t be more ready!!! My surgeon only required a 2 day pre-op diet, but I plan on doing it a couple weeks before surgery. With the exception of a New Years splurge. Tomorrow I have a 4 hour appointment to have a class with a nurse, meet with my nut one last time, and the financial advisor will tell me how much of a dent this will put in my pocket book. I’m so ready to get this done!!! 24 days can’t go by fast enough!!!!

I’m struggling!! My surgery is the 9th, I start the pre diet on 12/26 and I’m really struggling with dieting,, I needed to lose 20 lbs before surgery,, I got to 17 and now I’m back to 13,, I can’t focus on my diet and I’m really worried she will cancel my surgery if I don’t get back up to my 20 lb Mark, HELP!!




I actually gained a lot leading up to finally getting a surgery date. My first weigh in I was 209 and last week I weighed in at 229, so I feel your struggle. With that said though, I started my pre-op liquid diet on Saturday and I am already down 5 pounds. Hoping for a big loss before surgery on 1/2/18 because my NUT literally went nuts when she saw the gain. Hang in there. We’ve got this! Our eye is on the prize!

Anyone scheduled for surgery in January 2018? I'm booked in for the 12th. Would be nice to chat to people in the same stage x

I am also booked for the 12th! How exciting! Although I’m getting the mini rny. My surgeon suggested it because I’m considered “underweight”

My final appointment with the surgeon is Jan 15. I guess I'll get my date then. At my very 1st appointment in October she had estimated late Jan, early Feb for surgery.... So that's still right.

      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.
