Hi I just signed up. I've been on here so many times reading all the posts and thought I'd finally contribute. So far I have had my pre-consult and my surgery is March 31st. It all happened so fast I was there getting info, next thing there was a cancellation and I was booked in for only 2 1/2 weeks out.I am so excited for the new life ahead of me. Currently struggling through the pre-op diet. I think I might switch to liquids. The docs has me on unlimited yogurt and cottage cheese and 1 chicken breast per day. Starting to gag on the chicken now. I know how important it is to be strict pre-op. Any suggestions on what else I can add to me pre-op diet?

I'm pretty new here myself, so welcome from another newbie!! There is a TON of fantastic information on these boards.

You're very lucky to be scheduled so quickly!! I have a 90 day supervised eating plan I must go through before being approved by insurance. Are you using insurance or private pay? Just curious, cuz if it's insurance pay...your insurance ROCKS!!!

I'm paying myself, guess that helped speed things along. Also i just got lucky that they put me in a cancellation otherwise was a 5mth wait.
