Man, I'm so jealous! I can't have food or broth. But all I have "eaten" was one and a half protine shakes and one sf Jello cup. I'm drinking the second shake right now, so gross! Lol I don't know how I can do this for 2 weeks!

If this helps at all, I am drinking the EAS advantage shakes chocolate fudge and they r the best by far to me and no after taste! I'm not sure why different surgeons require different things. Weird! But u can do it! Powerade zero is good too! Can u have that?

I will try that, but I already spent 90$ on these so I don't want to waste them! Lol. I can have that, I have all kinds of crystal lights and Popsicles.

I think I have to pay up front, in fact I think I have to pay 48 hours in advance. But all doctors are different.

Well I have to pay my surgeon up front but not sure about the hospital charges. Hopefully since my deductible is met I don't have to pay them up front which is what two ladies I spoke with at the hospital said. But u know how that goes it could vary from person to person lol

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
