Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I also bought unjury......I bought 2 chocolate splendors' date=' strawberry, and chicken soup! I am following your lead....starting now with one or two a day before my 2 week shakes begin on Jun 25!

Hope all goes well for you all! Lisa[/quote']

I tried chicken today - the Water must have been too hot. Something gross happened. I guess they mean it with the 140 degrees thing.

I also tried the strawberry in lemonade today (it was suggested on the website) I found it too sweet but might try the unflavored in lemonade.

Getting banded 7/2

My diet starts 6/19

I'm excited nervous ready to get it over with!!!

I've been trying out homemade broth recipes to see which one's I like the best I think being prepared at all times is the key to a successful pre surgery diet

I would hate to be wake up from surgery and have no band ???”

I met with the surgeon last week and they submitted everything to the insurance. If everything goes well, I am anticipating a July surgery date. That's my birthday month, so I'm saying that will be my birthday present :P

Had my pre op appointment yesterday. It went great. I start the pre op diet on June 26th but today I am starting to add shakes as you guys have done. I think that's a great idea!! I will definitely need to get to the store to get ready and have plenty of choices here. Good luck to all of you July bandsters!!! Will be here before we know it and we will be off on our new journey to health!!

Got a call from the surgical scheduler this morning' date=' and my date is set for July 11th! I was hoping it might be sooner, but not surprised it worked out this way. Means I will be starting my liquid diet while I'm traveling for work - so that will be interesting. I'm also wrestling with not having our annual 4th of July BBQ at my house (which is in a prime location for watching fireworks) - maybe I'll just have ppl over for fireworks but avoid smelling burgers on the grill all day.

Anyone else have a July date set? Wanna support each other through the next weeks?[/quote']

Hi - I'm not sure if I'm doing this right b/c I'm really new to posting! My surgery date is July 1! Love the idea about supporting each other over the next few weeks / months. Also, did you figure out the answer on how to add friends on MFP? Thanks! Deb

Yep - on MFP in the add friends option if you choose the "by email" button there is an option in there to add by username. I just didn't see it the first 18 times :)

      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.
