Are any of you using MyFitnessPal to track protein/calories and weight? If so I'd love to be friends on that system as well. My user name is shellywolson.

Good luck ArtM with your surgery tomorrow! And also everyone else who has surgery coming up soon. You will all do great! It's a good idea to have a checklist of things you'll need in the hospital and for after. A few things you'll probably need for your stay at the hospital are: Your favorite pillow, tablet, magazines, good movie( my room had a DVD player), good book, someone to support you, and your list of questions for the doctor or nurse. For your recovery you'll want: gas x strips( cinnamon flavor), liquid Tylenol, whatever pain killer your doctor writes you a prescription for, and a heating pad or the Bio-freeze cooling gel ( for the shoulder pain). All of you will do so well, I'm so excited! Good luck guys!

Thank u! You too! It's a big change right. I was never a great eater and terrible at sitting to have meals. I'm a single mom of a 1 yr old who is my motivator. Just trying to figure out who I am again I guess without food and drinks on the weekends and my pizza! It's the first week! Lets check in when we see results, bet well b smiling for sure.,

Sounds like you are doing amazing - I'm with you on the finding out who I am without the weekend food events - I have always been great during the week, come the weekend I like my outings with my daughter, she is 17, and they always include a meal.

My confession - I gave in today - my energy level was just awful, so I ate about 2/3 cup of grilled chicken and 3 bites of a salad. I am stuffed - I guess 11 days on shakes has shrunk my stomach - Yayyyy!!! 1st NSV for me!

Lets keep in touch - I love all the support on here, it is amazing!

Way to go resisting it! It's hard but just trying to retrain my thinking towards food. I have been on my preop diet for 6 days and have slipped a bit but still remained under 1200 calories. On the scales this am and have lost a total of 7.6 pounds since Monday. Having a hard time not getting on that stupid scale every morning. Anyone else?

Excellent loss, way to go! Today is day 11 of 15 days of pre-op for me and I have been getting on the scale just about every day - I feel like i need something to say that this is all worth it - I am down 13lbs.

Any June the 5th buddies? I am down 17lbs including my Pre op diet. Just cooked a BBQ for my wife and I had a shake. It's hard but when I'm buying a new tailored suit feeling amazing!!! I won't care. Love being full all the time and another thing I've realised we should all live longer for a number of reasons the main being that obesity related health problems will be less but recently I read an article about people who live to over 100 have always eaten smaller meals and we are forced to do this - BONUS

I haven't used My Fitness Pal for awhile, but I guess I'd better get back on it! I'd love to keep up on that, too. Did you figure out how to do it without email?

Yes. You need to email through the iPad app, but I went to the website and was able to search members and request that way. Request me, shellywolson.

      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.
