Mine is Monday 8/27, have to say I am nervous, I keep thinking something is going to go wrong and that it’s just not in the cards for me. This preop diet is killing me but I have lost 14 lbs in 11 days.

I feel exactly the same way. I am having surgery the day after you and I keep saying that im probably going to get hit by a bus or something before then. I have the worse luck ever!

I was the same way. Had my surgery yesterday & did well.

My husband had to go to the ER while I was in surgery for severe abdominal pain. Right now he's waiting to have a CT to see if it is appendicitis. UGH! He's so worried that he won't be able to take care of me if he does.

@ChellNC Glad to hear your doing well, but sorry to hear about the hubby. Hopefully it is something simple and he doesn't have to have surgery.

Be patient. Don't weigh every day if its going to bother you. PIck one day a week and let that be weigh in day. If you still need to step on it every day, don't worry about the weight until weigh in day. You'll do fine.

      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.
