my doctor is having me drink some chicken broth too, but it's because i have to have a higher salt intake due to my lithium. some doctors allow 1 cup of broth. I'd ask your doctor.

Patrick, if you make it secret I will join. I have a lot of coworkers and family on my Facebook that don't know i'm doing this.

mine is July 2nd. I'm nervous about some things, disappointed at some of the people that wont support me, but overall extremely excited. I can't wait for July 2nd to be here! I stay busy at work so I don't think about it much there. but it's constantly on my mind when i'm at home. my boyfriend keeps me busy so it's not too bad. i've become obsessed with this website though. :P

I'm July 2nd too! I have only told my hubby and 3 very close friends, and my mom is going with me. I mentioned to my family that I was looking into it a couple of months ago and they *threw a fit* so no more information for them. I don't need to hear it :) Getting super excited!

That sucks that your fam isn't that supportive. MY aunt had RNY so we've been through this before.

My sisters are young, slim and haven't had kids. They diet and work out and don't understand why I don't just do the same. They dont get that they spend enourmous time and energy dieting and working out JUST TO MAINTAIN their weight. I'm a busy wife and mom and am starting 100 pounds behind. When I do what they do I simply maintain as well, there's no loss. My mom is supportive and my husband is happy for me although not exactly thrilled because he's so worried, so I do have some support and I'm happy with that.

I would join too but I don't want anyone on FB to know. If it were a "secret" or private group I'd join. Is that even possible?

The group is set to Private - so only I can invite members, and only other members can view other members and posts. So year it is possible.

My surgery date is July 18th and I'm already sick of Protein shakes. I've been on 1 shake and 2 meals per day since April 19. I can't bear to think of a 5 week liquid diet (2 weeks before surgery, 3 weeks after). My doctor is very strict with this eating plan.

I would love tojoin you guys on Facebook. How do I do it?

      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.
