Hola!

This is a great forum and Welcome. You will find lots of information here quickly and all personal experiences from all. What better way is there than the experiences of others. WE tell it like it is and you have to take bits and pieces to tailor make it for yourself. Some bad, but mostly good is found here. I believe here on this forum, since all of us have gone through different health issues in our personal lives, there's NO dumb question. We are all learning from each other.

Have fun on this forum. Banded on Aug 6, 2012.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

Dr. DiCicco was my assisting surgeon. Do you see him in Zephyrhills? I saw them there a few times but will follow up in their office in Orlando. It's closer to Oviedo where I live. It is a small world! So how are you doing post op?

      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.
