I thought it can't hurt to look for locals that have or are having surgery :)

September! How is your progress? I've had a really rough start but think I'm finally starting to recover. I had my surgery 12/31. So I'm just a few weeks out. I'm having trouble figuring out how to eat! I can't stomach most of the Protein drinks!

Sorry you are off to a ruff start!! Those first fee weeks are tuff!! I'm 15 weeks postop and down 53 pounds!!! Couldn't be happier!!

Hang in there!! It really does get easier. I hated the Protein shakes. They make me so nauseous. But I'm able to get most my Protein in now with food. Who did your surgery?

Wow!! I work at NWTH too! Lol!! I love dr hodges!! I work in radiology. And I'm contracted so my insurance isn't NWTH. And my insurance wouldn't cover it. So it was just cheaper for me to go to Mexico. Are you still on liquids or purees?

That's cool :) I work in Nicu :) a lot of people at Nwth have had this surgery! I'm on liquids. I think I can start puréed stuff Monday. I'm definitely not getting enough Protein in right now. I'm working on getting enough Water in lol I got about 1/2 cup of a Protein Shake in this am.

It's a very popular surgery and it's great that NWTH covers it!! Which Protein shake are you drinking. Pure Protein was the best one I found. I still drink one on days that I'm struggling.

Yay for Monday!! Hopefully purees will be better for 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.
