As soon as I wrote University of Arizona or Alabama, I realized it was probably AU - I have a cousin who graduated from Auburn - great school!

Went to my nutritional class today and I am so pumped. I only have to do Clear Liquids the day before surgery, but they ask, not require that you control carbs/fat a couple weeks before. The only thing that upset me was no swimming for 4-6 wks. I thought they meant, actually swimming, no they mean no pool for 4-6 wks! Just when it's almost warm enough:cursing:

Hey Diane - Glad your nutrition seminar went well. I thought I had mine today - even went to it, but realized in the parking lot that it isn't until tomorrow!! Just a little bit of a brain fart there! :frown: Seem to be having them more often lately - oh well! My doctor has me do 3 days of liquid diet, but we will see what the nutritionist says tomorrow!

Hello my fellow May 22nd bandsters. Update for you all. I'm finishing up day 1 of the liquid diet, have managed to keep my hunger under control so that's good. However, worst headache ever right now, that will hopefully go away. I got my final clearance from the internist on Monday, so exciting, but at the same time found out that I have a 1cm kidney stone. NOT EXCITING. He said it's fine for now, told me what signs to watch out for when it becomes blocking, but hey, can still have surgery. Hope you are all doing well!!

My date is also May 22. I can't wait! I only have to be on preop liquids for 24 hours prior. I don't think I could do much longer! Good luck to everyone!

      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.
