Hello, I've been a long time lurker on this forum. I figured it was time to join in conversation. I can't believe I am a week away from changing my life. I am very excited! This pre-op diet is kicking my butt. I am able to have any kind of Protein Shake I want, and by far I prefer the ready made ones. I love reading everyones journey .....good and bad. I also love the great advice shared, glad I found this site! :-)

Sally in Cincinnati OH.

Thanks guys! When I say change my life, I mean permanently alter my body....for the better. I'm the kind of person that researches the mess out of little and big decisions that affect my life, so trust me this is what I want to do. The positives of this surgery will most definitely outweigh any negatives going forward.

      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.
