Hi! I ate ALOT of soup!! Homemade too-- I also liked malt o meal as opposed to oatmeal for a change--

I would freeze a banana or 2 or other fruit all cut up in lil pieces lol and then I'd put it in the lil food processor and it was like ice-cream! Best if the fruit is very ripe!

I think I did Protein shakes my favs were GNC lean and glucerna

Also the lil laughing cow cheeses and scrambled eggs

Also if u like hot teas- herbal and plain that can help w hunger as well as plain chicken broth

Dont worry about messing up- I did great until a couple of days before and then I messed up but it was still ok

Tomorrow is my final Nutritionis visit before they submit the insurance forms to approve my surgery. I was told I had to lose 23 lbs by then and this morning I reached it!!! yay!. The day after tomorrow I meet with the Dr.....not sure what that is about but it is a counsutation. I'm working with Dr. Vuong at Lovelace Westside.

Also, I found a protien shake that is actually good for you. No chemicals, artificial anything, no dairy or nuts. The brand is called RAW and it isn't the best tasting but I added PB2 to it and it was fine. Low in calories too, but plenty of protien.

I feel good....I definitely struggle right now with getting in my Protein and nutrients, but I assume it will get easier as time goes by. It still doesn't seem real.

Hi ladies!! Just came across this thread. Love that there's a New Mexico group here. I had my VSG at Forrest Park Medical in Dallas on May 7 2014. Almost a year now. I was born and raised here in big city of Carlsbad. Look forward to reading more awesome posts from you all.

      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.
