Hey everyone... I'm 2 weeks out, and today something strange happened. I woke up today with what I think was a panic attack. My heart started racing, I felt light headed, and like I wanted to pass out. These are the same symptioms as my panic attacks. Could it be that I'm not eating good, low calorie, low Protein? Or because I had PB2 mixed in my yogurt? I'm clueless. I'm wondering if the surgery is mesing with my hormones. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Please help...

The surgery definitely messes with our hormones - sometime knowing that will help a little. Are you getting plenty of Protein? Calories are not as important this early out. If you don't feel better, contact your medical team.

What brand of shakes have you been using? What are you mixing them with? Any premix? Fortunately, there are dozens of brands and flavors of Protein. Keep hunting til you find one you can use. I have some Unjury mixes that I mix with Silk Lite. I have never had soy milk before and was determined not to like it. I was so wrong! Unjury make an unflavored protein you can mix in anything - sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, Soup (that is not over 140 degrees). I hope you get relief soon!

      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.
