Hi Laura! I'm Megan, also 23, would be happy to support you via this website. I am post-op. My surgery date was a little over 2 months ago, November 19th! I started my pre-op diet on November 4th (2 weeks of Protein shakes) and since that date I have lost 71 pounds. Having this surgery was the single BEST thing I have ever done for myself. What can I do to provide you support? Are you pre-op or post-op? Let me know what I can do!

support

hi laura

welcome

if you are 1/2 as nice as your picture - you must be a terrific person ;)

getting lots of info preWLS can be overwhelming :o

glad you found this board

ask your questions, but keep your eyes open by reading lots of other posts, you'll be surprised to see that many people have similar questions as you do

then you'll see many questions/answers about life during and after recovery

we're pretty nice, and we don't bite (not usually :lol: )

take care - come to the board as often as possible

we love to see B) new people ^_^

take care

good luck

      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.
