As 2013 comes to a close, what a year it has been! Although I have not met any of you face to face, I share a special bond with each and every one of you. WE ARE CHAMPIONS!!!! WE MADE IT TO THE LOSER'S BENCH!!!! Through the up and downs, the good and not so good, it's been one heck of a ride! My pray for all as we enter the New Year, is that we continue to pursue and achieve our goals snd dreams that we, maybe thought were impossible, we enjoy more NSV's, better health, and we continue to rock those new outfits in smaller sizes (lol!). I thank all of you for the support, encouragement, and concern shown to me and one another!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! YOU GUYS ROCK♥

Could it be your gall bladder? If you do gave one, it's been known for bariatric patients to have issues and may have to have it removed. Feel better and stay warm in this blizzard.

      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.
