I can't believe it's almost here. I have done the best I could with the pre-op shakes. I feel like a failure almost because I couldn't drink as many as recommended. A week and a half in I had to swap over to sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast because the meer sight of the Bariatric Advantage shakes made my mouth salivate in preparation for vomiting. I am so ready to get it over with. I don't even feel anxious or scared. That may change when I'm stripped down to nothing but a gown lying on the stretcher waiting. All I can say is viva la Versed! I was told in pre-op that I had to stay in the hospital gown the first day. Good luck with that happening. I don't care how many holes they put in me or how doped up I am, as soon as I roll up to the floor, my pajamas are going on! I see myself being the patient nurses dream of. Out of bed and walking by 4 hours post-op, urinating on my on accord (without being cathed), and requiring minimal pain medicine. We shall see.

If you disliked the Bariatric Advantage, you might want to ask for Unjury in the hospital. It tastes way better. I thought the BA had a chemical taste from the Vitamins. Good luck!

I thought the chocolate lite muscle milk I had in the hospital was pretty good. Just ordered jay Robb whey Protein in vanilla online. That was highly recommended too. We will see!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
