Thanks everyone! Just took a long bubble bath to relax and get my mind right. I hear you can have friends on here but I don't know how. I usually check in from my iPhone but when I wanna look at before/after pics for motivation I sign on using my laptop. I saw something about friends and following each other but don't remember where. This is a really cool app/site!

Well does anyone know why you're supposed to d/c Vitamins at least 7 days before surgery?? I got my Flintstone chewables yesterday and tried one-i was excited cuz i used to take them when i was a kid. I just read to not have vitamins the week before.

It probably promotes healing. I'm pretty sure that Vitamin C is good for healing. Besides, many people are low on D.

      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.
