I am scheduled October 12, have been on the pre-op diet since Friday and got really sick with a Migraine today. I had a small portion of chicken and it made me feel better. I've dropped 5lbs since Friday, hoping this doesn't hurt anything by eating today. I have my endoscopy in the morning.

I actually put on Water weight the first few days. I took a few days of herbal diuretics and my scale shows I've lost five pounds in a week. Not the big losses that others have reported but it is nice to see the numbers go down instead of up.

Do you feel bloated, or do you notice puffy ankles? Maybe the same water retention thing is happening.

Day 4 of liquid diet. I had a Migraine for 2 days, but feeling much better now. I try to stretch my 4 shakes as much as possible. 11 days left, taking it one day at a time. i don't have a scale, is that bad? don't know how much I lost but feel a lot less bloated and a friend of my daughter's today said she noticed I lost a bit of weight, and she doesn't know I am doing this. So that is so motivating.

Can you try other shakes? I am on Unjury and LOVE them. Maybe a better tasting shake would help. JMHO...

Where did you get the Unjury from and how much was it?

Atkins shakes are delicious!

They really are great I have been drinking them for jp. Trying to prepare myself for my pre op diet, but I don't think I can have them for pre op.

Ladymarshall - my doctors do Bariatric Advantage, but it was making me sick so the other option they gave me was Atkins which is awesome. Just ask them if u can do it.

Hello' date=' everyone! My name is Tim, and I just joined.[/sub']

My wife and I are being banded on October 24. We are lucky enough to self-fund the surgeries, so we didn't have to go through a lot of insurance hoops (neither of our insurances will cover bariatric surgery). We would have loved to have the surgery earlier in October, but the surgeon said we would not be able to drive for a week after the surgery, and I have many commitments in October.

We are really looking forward to this life change!

Will be the best experience of y'all's life...

      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?

      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.
