Hi, all! I'm Indian, but living in California. I joined this forum when I first had surgery in August of 2011. There weren't any Indians then!

I don't come on very often, but it's nice to see all of you joining this forum - it was a great support for me when I first started out! Good luck to you!!

I hit my goal a few months ago, and have been maintaining since then. I'm so happy with my sleeve, and feel better than ever. I wish you all the same!

Neil, you can do it! I'm vegetarian, and it has worked out just fine. It does take some planning. Where are you located?

Neil, 3 months out with a 62 pound loss! That's amazing!

Being a vegetarian in America will definitely be much easier than in India. There is a larger variety of Protein options available to you. Natural, low fat cheeses, greek yogurt, low fat milk, powdered Peanut Butter, Protein powders, nuts, and soy products. All these items are staples you should have in your house, to provide yourself with daily variety!

I'm in California. Good luck to you!

      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.
