Greetings Everyone, I’m new to the app and group. I am scheduled for surgery on July 16th and have to complete a three week pre-op diet. This has been tough, especially since I’m experiencing headaches. Any advice for me. Tomorrow is the second cookout I will be attending and I am deathly afraid. The first cookout, I did well but since I’ve been craving food these last couple of days, it’s been challenging.

Thank you for your positivity and energy. Wishing you all the best through your journey. You’ve got this- we’ve got this. I’m going to have to invest in Premier Protein. I have Bariatric Advantage and the flavors as you have stated are very sweet.

I think some folks missed the point I was trying to make. I almost regret posting up this now. A challenge is normal. I love family gatherings but again, I was craving foods, which I hadn’t during this pre-op and I found it challenging. I did rather well. I had my shakes and drank my water and enjoyed my family. Didn’t even think about cheating. To others who find it challenging, there is hope.

Thank you so much. I’m praying for your surgery too. It really hasn’t been too bad but that temptation troubles me. I do intend to go and take my shakes with me and pray through the process. I don’t want to miss out on seeing my family because of the pre-eating. The plus of all of it, is that I have lost 15 pounds already. That tells me there is light at the end of the tunnel. The same as you have offered me, if you need someone to talk to, please feel free to send me a message

Thank you! I’m sending prayers and positive energy to you too. Making dinner for my husband and son has been such a challenge. I accidentally licked the back of the spoon of guacamole when I made it yesterday. I immediately drank water and a shake. It’s a old habit. However, I did so well at a 4th of July cookout yesterday in which they had everything I wanted to eat. Thank you again and you are so right, we’ve got this.

Surgery is July 16th
