Thanks everyone. I realize everyone is here to help. I was hoping someone that had had LB with a small toddler could offer any advice. Thankfully I have his sitter, my mom and his dad helping for a full 7 days after surgery but I am going to resume much of his care after that. I had him

Via c-section so I'm no stranger to stomach pain while taking care of a baby.

I'm also concerned with the mindless eating that comes along with taking care of a baby. He grazes much of the day and what he doesn't eat I tend to automatically put in my mouth.

Before I joined the site I was confident this was going to work, but reading about people that haven't lost a pound has totally scared me! I realize its in their power to change that but it still scares me.

      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.
