I just wanted to say thank you to my Carrie on the forum. Sometimes I think we forget to thank the people who love us the most and encourage us. My wife went out and purchased all of my food for my 2 week liquid diet. She put all the different shakes,Protein drink mix and Protein Bars in lunch bags and also put the day of the week on them with the calorie intake of the bag! If you have a spouse,friend or other family member kicking ass for you like this, please give the thanks that they so well deserve.:D

Respectfully,

Joe Lopez

That is awesome...way to be supportive Mrs. Lopez! So I follow suit and give a shout out to my husband and son (16 years old). They both spent the night with me at the hospital and has taken really good care of me over the last two weeks.

That's so sweet. I must say I'm jealous. My boyfriend isn't supportive of my getting the sleeve (hopefully in Nov.). He won't go with me to Mexico or have anything to do with it. He's slim and doesn't understand being overweight. He's only worried about complications. But he won't even listen to me talk about the doctor or his track record.

Wow she is great and so are you for thanking her! Woo hoo!!!

I am pre-op and have already thanked my husband for going to the orientation with me and not fussing over having to self pay if need be. I was going to do it anyway, but I feel lucky and relieved.

Thank her often Joe!!!!

      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.
