After eating better (better portions and better quality food) I can't eat mcdonalds and stuff anymore. I ate half of my daughters mcdouble and I paid for it severely! Kinda nice actually, not what happened, but that I can't tolerate that food any longer.

Hoping for a september date. I had to have 3 nut visits for my federal BCBS, and ended up having gastritis and H Pylori when they did my upper endoscopy. Now on 2 weeks of heavy duty antibiotics and prevacid. Mouth tastes like metal as a result, eating less. Worried because I am just over the minimum BMI plus co morbidity (hypertension). Anyway, my hope is after my sept 6 Nut visit, my insurance turn around is quick (as I have been told by others , can be) go on my 2 week pre-op diet to "shrink my liver" and get done at the very end of Sept or early october. i don't plan to be that Svelt for xmas, but at least I will be eating healthier and maybe moving into underland.

      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.
