YEE HAH!! I got the surgery date!! I was able to get the date I wanted (have to plan, plan, plan). My new birthday is January 24.

:whoo:I can hardly wait! This happens to be my daughters 17th birthday and she is not too happy that I won't be celebrating with her. You know...cake, dinner out and more cake. I told her no cake at the house but she can still go out to dinner with her friends and they can get cake at the resturant. But she is happy that I am getting it done.

I am starting the pre-op this week, just to see how it is. My pre-op diet is not too bad. High Protein (70-100 grams) and low carbs (30 gram). It is really interesting to see how many carbs are actually in ALL the foods we eat, the good stuff too!

Just had to share the great new!!!!!!!!!!:clap2:

Congratulations!!! I know what you mean, I've been on several low carb diets in my life and I was just amazed at how many I consumed on a daily basis. Good luck with your pre-op diet and with your surgery!

      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.
