I feel ya! I am planning on going February 17 to dr Garcia. I'm so excited!

It's aprox 2 months still, and I've been planning this since October. That's really flown, and I can barely believe another Christmas has passed, so I have faith that this can fly too!!

Is anybody stocking anything special for their surgerys yet? I have unjury' date=' Syntrax, Jello, better than bullion, B12 and liquid vites ready to go.[/quote']

Good question! This probably deserves it's own thread! I feel so unprepared because I'm still just ordering samples so far. (I think I'll start a new thread to talk about this if you don't mind)

Sure. There are alot of older threads about post surgery preparations. Of course, much depends on your docs program. Ill be coming home on liquids, my mom came home with a green flag. Anything she could handle. Here are my preps so far:

Syntrax samples(protein)

Unjury chicken Protein

Matrix and Oh yeah and Musclemilk light(meal replacements)

Syntrax unflavoured

Anywhey unflavored

Better than bullion (chicken)

Vegetable broth

Digital food scales

blender

Torrani SF Syrup

Miralax

Liquid vite, B12 sublingual, liquid Calcium and D3.

GasX

I froze some homemade broths and chili when I had leftovers.

It sounds like alot, but I haven't stocked heavy in these things. Just to get me started that first couple weeks. Hard to know what u will tolerate after surgery so no point in wasting too much $.

      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.
