I'm so excited to have found this thread. I'm super excited about finally having a date - the 16th. I start my liquid diet tomorrow and I'm going crazy with anticipation. My doctor (Veninga in Carrollton, TX) has me on Optifast. Anyone else been on that? Also, have you guys started taking the daily Multivitamin already? Any suggestions on which one is best?

Glad to be a part of a group and can't wait to hear all the exciting news!:thumbup:

July16th for me too. I started my liquid diet today......Bariatric Advantage.....not too bad. I made up the vanilla and added sugar free orange Syrup that is used for lattes. It tastes pretty good. I haven't started the Vitamin yet. I have Bariatric Advantage vitamin in lemon and watermelon....yum!

The fourth day it gets so much easier. So it won't bother you too bad. Today is day 6 for the liquids. Gets so easy just another way of life. YOu do think of food though and think of your old habits. Have the big picture in your head and it will help!

My surgery is tomorrow - JULY 3rd. I'm worried about the size of my liver and the doctor not being able to do it laproscopically. I asked the clinic yesterday if the doctor will do an "open surgery" if my liver was too big but she said she has never heard that he does an open surgery. Sure hope that my cheating during the three week Optifast stage doesn't prevent me from getting the operation. I have a BMI of 54 so I am pretty obese but I have lost 19 or so pounds so surely some of the fat must have come off the liver. I hope to be posting "on the other side" of bandster land on July 4th and have something else to celebrate!

Thank you! I'm hoping that I'll be so busy tubing, skiing, and boating that I won't think about the diet! LOL!

      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.
