Your 2 week prep is pretty similar to mine! I am loving cucumbers and peppers!

Ohhh peppers, I didn't thing about those. I have eaten cucumbers the last 2 days! I will have to get some peppers to add into the mix.

My surgery is Nov 1st. Starting the month strong.

I will be starting my soft food phase thanksgiving day technically. I'm a bit worried about what healthy food options there will be for me th at I'm actually able to eat. I may just put off eating so ft foods for a few extra days so I'm not tempted. Is thanksgiving and Christmas a concern for anyone else?

How are people monitoring their progress? I created a spreadsheet of various body measurements, weight, body fat, bmi that I plan on filling out weekly, I started a week before surgery. As well as weekly pictures.

I'm having my surgery 11/8 and just started the pre-op diet today. I feel like this is going to be the slowest 2 weeks of my life. I still feel so intimidated by this pre-op diet but I know how important it is.
Mine is the same day..however I am only on day 2 of pre op I counted day od surgery in error..i think 13 days total will be ok lol

I’m scheduled for the 12th of November. I’m really excited to sit in an airplane and be comfortable. Tie my shoes without propping up is next in my list, and last but not least be able to get off the floor without rolling. Ugh!

I have all the same desires. Desperately waiting for a surgery date. The insurance company is taking all 15 days they are allotted to come to a decision. Omg. The waiting is a pain. I’m hoping to get one of the last few spots they have in December. So fingers crossed. Good luck to you.

      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.
