Just wanted to thanks every single one of you in here for all the support you've given me and other people. I never thought a simple app or website could be so helpful. It means the world to me when you guys help out because sometimes we fall a little behind and once we come back here we get enthusiastic again, so thank you for taking the time on giving encouraging words and great tips

I have to echo this. Just discovered this site and have learned so much for my surgery on July 16. There is so much information here and support. It has meant so much to me and helps me understand I am not alone. Thank you everyone!!

I agree . . . this is an amazing site with helpful insights from people who truly understand. I find the individual stories to be motivating and encouraging. It is refreshing to find out the "issues" I have are shared by many and often solutions are presented that truly work. Thank you adrimc26 for creating this post!

      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.
