Hi buddies! May 14th for me! Super excited, it's been in the works for a year. I'm 33 and in sunny San Diego. I've tried to join the group a million times, but nothing happens when I click join group. Anyone know what I need to do?

Hi MG in SD welcome to the group! you are a member, I just checked. What you need to do is click on the tab that says "Groups" and it should give you a list of the groups you belong to. click on the May 2012 sleevers and you are in! let me know if this does not work and I will see what else might be wrong.

How is everyone doing on their pre-op diet? To be honest I am struggling.

I am having a hard time getting in all my Protein shakes, I was suppose to get in 60 grams but now I get in about 30. I eat 1 serving of greek yogurt, sugar free Jello, and try and drink 60 ounces of Water a day. I have been on the liquid diet since the 12 and have surgery on 5/3 yay it is almost here. I has been a struggle for me too but I just think about the weight loss and how I will feel.

Then it is all worth it.

It's difficult at times (especially when a commercial with some amazing looking food comes on...I typically have to change the channel. Lame I know lol) I'm trying my best to learn to love whey Protein. Finding flavors that suit you is important. There are unflavored alternatives that are definitely helpful. My best friend used to be bread, I kinda miss him but not so much as to sabotage the journey. :) hang in there and remember that you can always stand up and try again. :)

Can you recommend any of the Protein Shakes? I was thinking of using MetRX, since I have a bullet blender. But I'll need some pre-mixed ones for work. Any ideas? Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Had my pre op tests done yesterday at the hospital- now it's really starting to be real! Getting nervous, thinking about all the "what ifs". I'm starting my pre op diet today.

Looking forward to a healthier and happier life :)

My doctor had me purchase Pro-Stat 64 (sugar free). 2 tablespoons have 15 grams of Protein so you can put in a shake, Water or anything to get in the protein.

Thank You!!

      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.
