Only 1 week left. Saw the dietician and surgeon today and was surprised when they didn’t put me on any type of a preop diet. Just said nothing after 8 pm the night before.

Wrapping up my first week of preop diet. I’ve had a few “moments” of wanting to gnaw on my arm but they’ve passed quickly. Down 8 pounds and feeling better! Less pressure in my lower back and my arthritic knees. March 11th cannot get here fast enough! Firmly planted on the losers bench!

If you are scheduled for surgery in March, start sharing those dates. Make some friends with people who are having surgery on the same day

My surgery was Mar 1. I am home resting. All in good. My gallbladder was removed at the same time. Gallbladder attacks are way worse then this. So glad I did it.

Congrats, Jojo! Glad to hear everything went well. I had my gallbladder out many years ago and remember the pain was awful! My surgery is on the 8th.

Happy healing 😊

I'm reporting to the hospital tomorrow (March 3) at 5:30 a.m. for my gastric bypass. I've lost 17 pounds during the two-week liquid phase and am excited to be on the other side!

      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.
