Recommended Posts

Hi. I am scheduled for my surgery Nov. 30 2010. So started the liquid _ _ _ _( I can't even say the word or type it). Natural chocolate flavor Protein Shakes (NOT). But so far so good. I am scared, excited, hopeful and hungry...Yogurt time. I am from BC Canada and don't know of anyone else around who has had this proceedure. Nice to have a place like this to touch base with others who know what it's like.

Hiya Daisymay,

I'm Angela joining you from the UK. I'm being sleeved the week after you on Dec 7th. I could have chosen the same day as you, but I turned it down because that would have meant getting it as a birthday present!!!

Although I can't wait, I didn't really fancy that LOL !!!

I've just started on the liquid torture, I have 3 weeks of it, lucky you to only have 2 weeks LOL !!!

Keep us posted on how it all goes, I'll be thinking of you on the day.

Best wishes

Angela x

      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.
