Yup! Tomorrow is the big day and I'm packing my bags now. I can't believe the day has finally arrived... I've been dreaming of this new beginning for years and now it's here! This is so surreal! I hope yours goes well, too, dear.

Wishing you the best luck and prayers your way. My surgery is at 7:00am. At first I couldn't wait for this day to get here now I am regretting it. I am so scared! Mainly because I have sinusitis and my nostrils keeps getting clogged and im so afraid to stop breathing during aurgery. [emoji30] [emoji22][emoji21]

And I'm so over these Protein shakes! It gets harder & harder to get them down. They are too thick for me so I drink them with a straw. I don't know how I'm gonna manage after surgery. I think I may try some of the protein juices.

I like the caramel Premier Protein shakes those are good! I thought you are not supposed to drink with a straw? Im just going to sleep until Tuesday to avoid being hungry and not think about food lol

My pre-op diet isn't liquid, just has to be low carb, high Protein & under 800 cals a day. It's fairly easy for me, I'm really not hungry most of the time lately. Day 4/5 was the worst. I've decided that today I'll start doing all liquids though until surgery. I'd like to get down into the 230s before surgery (241 the past couple days, started at 260 before diet).

You are so lucky you don't have to be on a liquid diet. Mine is a combination of a liquid diet equaling to 800 cals a day also. My weight is currently 225..

Girl this liquid diet is so hard! I'm on day 8 of the required 10 days. And mine is strictly 2-3 Protein Shakes (Bariatric Advantage), Water, broth, & sugar free Popsicles and Jello. The struggle is so real around here! I've slipped a couple of times, but all I had was bag baked salmon. In my mind I didn't do too bad because I ate something high in protein! What have you eaten?

I was only required a 5 day liquid diet, but even then it has been hard for me! My diet restrictions are the same as yours except I could have smashed potatoes... yesterday I wanted to have smash potatoes so I decided to go buy one at KFC.. & once I was there girl I jist ordered a Famous chicken bowl instead. I ate that thing like there was no tomorrow... and then a couple hours later I regreted it. So far I havent had anything but a Protein Shake. Im punishing myself . It is hard girl.

I was required to stay on the diet for 14 days. The first few days were rough but manageable. It's harder on the weekends for me, and I have slipped a few times. I'm mainly required to drink two Protein Shakes and have unlimited veggies and one small dinner daily. Im down 10 lbs though.

Good for you girl , yes it definitely does get eveb harder on weekends. At least you get to have one small dinner!

Im 22, & im 3 days away from my surgery. The most difficult part for my journey was the psychiatrist since he kept pushing and asking if I was sure because of my age. But it all went well at the end. Im also a mommy of 2 . Ages 4 & 5.

Just got the call today that my insurance was approved and my surgery date is May 9th. Since my body is not so big the doctor said the tools would fit in my body easily therefore I didnt have to follow a long liquid diet. Im so excited. Is anybody else scheduled for May 9th.?

Hi guys im new to forum!

So my bmi is at 40.3 with no complications. I have been referred to a surgeon for gastric bypass and I have completed any requirement that my insurance may ask for. I did 6 months of a supervised diet amd got cleared by the dietician and mey with the psychiatrist and with the surgeon. Everything is clear on their end and now the only thing pending is my insurance.. the surgeon submitted the documents to them on a Tuesday of last week so it has been about 7-8 days and the surgeon told me that my file was under supervision.. i was wondering who else in California has full Medi-cal and how long it took to hear back from them. Im so anxioud and scared to get rejected...

Thank you! [emoji4]
