The surgery is really not bad at all! I had never had any kind of surgery either, never broken a bone, no teeth pulled, like nothing lol. I had surgery on the 4th. The whole process was quick and seemed very relaxed to everyone! You will do great, so try not to worry about it :)

Thanks:) the hardest thing for me thru this whole process is quitting smoking cigarettes I have smoked for 8 years, but I will say the last 3 weeks I have smoked 1 every other day but not always, going from smoking about a half a pack a day to 1 us very good for me ,it just seems to calm my nerves. Has anybody else had a problem quitting??? If u did quit how?

Anyone else having problems getting in 3 Protein shakes a day?

I'm supposed to drink 5! Maybe they are smaller than yours though. Mine are 160 calories and the size of a juice box. I can usually get them all in, but I also get no food.

I know it must be a bit tough. I always have a let down after the event I've anticipated has come and gone. That plus "this is now real" must be hard. Just imagine a room full of us cheering you on! We've all made courageous decisions, I think. We should be applauded for our determination!

I know how you are feeling lisamase, I had surgery the day after you did, everyday seems to be difficult so far, We just have to remember that it will all be worth it in the end! :)

Hang in there, I cannot even imagine the roller coaster ride you are going through post surgery emotionally and physically. I know you will do amazing.

      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.
