Hey ya'll. I just decided to get on here cause there was a post from OH about this. So I decided to join. Im the same user name over there, so hopefully i find some friends from there and meet some new ones here. Im a little less than 3 weeks out and have shed about 49 lbs. So happy with my sleeve!

Hi Bubba

I'm from the UK & am due to have my op on the 27th. Have started the milk & yoghurt pre op diet which i'm finding a little difficult. Feeling really nervous about the op at the moment as was originally having the band. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks xxx

Hi bubba...welcome to VST!

I've been reading your posts at OH and keeping up with you.

Was it you that made that funny thread about death breath? LOL

I was thinking about that because when I woke up this morning I was talking to my husband in bed and he said OMG your breath is horrible! Yeah I've been noticing it too and have been brushing my teeth and chewing sugarfree gum a lot.

Hey Bubba, and welcome to VST. I'm USAF WIFE over there, and I hope you enjoy the forum. It's a great place, and if you and your girl are night owls or stay up late occasionally, you can typically find several of us in the chat room. We're usually in there between 8pm CST all the way to midnight or later some nights.

      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.
