Hey , I'm in Anna and I am having my surgery Nov 20 with Dr.Kim . I'm self pay , so I'm nervous about having the surgery and how much I'm paying . I have been struggling with my weight since I was 5 years old . I would love to have a group to share my joys and fears with . Seems like my friends are not around right now and my husband says he is supportive , but doesn't really understand what I'm feeling .

I've been doing the carnation Breakfast with one raw egg and a banana in a blender.That is 40 grams of Protein but your body will not take but about 20 grams at once so i just sip on that threw breakfast and lunch.I stopped doing that because i eat enough to get my protein along with drinking a muscle milk everyday.

Vitamin Shoppe has one called Protein Blitz. It's good and is sweet tasting.

GNC has one called GNC Total Lean. I like the ready made chocolate and vanilla. These are probably best for pre-surgery or week 2 full liquids.

      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.
