Oh my goodness, I just realized that my surgery is only 5 days away!! I think that my husband is more worried about it than I am.....Its the first surgery I have ever had, so he is concerned. I told him that all my pre-op testing is good and normal. So, far my surgery is scheduled for 11am. I am a little nervous, but excited too.

Hello ! My surgery is July 10th!! I’m working on my liquid diet and so far it’s been okay. I haven’t lost any weight for being on day 5 but I am hoping that changes as time goes on! Good luck to all

I'm right behind you @Simpson062681 Just got approved yesterday from insurance which happened to be day 1 of my preop diet. Not on a strictly liquid diet so it's not that bad. Yesterday was fine until the boredom at night came but made it through. Havn't done lunch yet and feeling a bit hungry but wanna wait a bit longer before having my 2nd shake. Surgery is July 12th for me.

Also on the 12th and doing a no fat/sugar/carb liver shrinking diet.

Never noticed how much I randomly think of food throughout the day and it would normally cause me to go get whatever just popped in my head. The struggle is real but I’m determined to conquer this.

I am very excited to have my surgery date! July 16th! I am having trouble sticking to my diet. I have gained back about 3 pounds. Any suggestions? I have really craved sugar lately.
I'm thinking my surgery will be the 16th as well. If not any day in that week.!!!

I am so excited for all of us! I appreciate all the support and discussion! Good luck to all of us having surgery in the next few weeks! I will start my pre op diet on the 8 th. I have not yet been approved by my insurance. I hope we will have that back this week ahead.

Just turned over the calendar to begin July tomorrow -- my palms had a sweaty moment as I viewed the month, realizing July 17 is coming up fast! Am I ready? Almost, but the clock will keep ticking whether I'm ready or not. Anxious to begin the 10-day pre-op, but may indulge in a piece of zucchini bread before that starts July 7. I miss baking. However, I keep saying to myself, It's Only Temporary! O yes, I'm in Michigan.

      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.
