Good morning everyone,

I've been reading, but just haven't posted. Must have caught the "grumpies" from Lisa, LOL. Just kidding, Lisa. You are a positive person to me.

Hippmom, Lou is doing good. School keeps her hopping. She's at Region VIII now. I'm hanging in there.

I'm not feeling any restriction at all. I'm not disappointed because I've read that sometimes it takes a few fills to get to that "sweet spot". I have been getting a little hungry a lot and sometimes I have not been so great on my eating. I guess Lisa will have to put me out with the "puter".

I was another discussion in here, can't remember which one, but a lady suggested that she needed a kick in the butt ( for eating too much), so someone sent her a reply with a guy kicking another one and it read "you've just been kicked in the butt". I thought it was too funny. So I guess I need that kick. LOL

Glad all the "sick and shut in's":sick are recuperating well.

Glo, don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone goofs up. Just start over the next day. You have to take it day by day and work hard on it. It's a long term thing, but you still have to work hard every day to get to that goal. so.....:rolleyes: we are all here to support you. :cheer2:

Good morning everyone! Hope all is well with you this morning

Priss, go to the noscales website and click on e-store. Then, I think you have to go to post-op stuff. Just look around. There are some vials (i think they are 3 oz.) that pack a lot of Protein in them. lo2us has bought some, maybe she can tell you a lot more about them. You might be able to check at the health food stores for some.

Yall have a good day!

i have bought some Protein powder at Walmart. it is pretty good with a scoop of fat free choc ice cream and a cup of ff milk. I bought the vanilla flav protein. Walmart doesnt have the protein bullets. I guess I can add the protein scoop to anything that is cold. I dont know about something hot. I heard it would curdle up. LOL

I bought the nectar from the website. I haven't tried the bullets. The Nectar is sorta like Kool-Aid, but with a funy smell. I would like to try the bullets though!

I will say that I'm disappointed that the company has YET to send my Biotin. I ordered it WAY back!

I think I would be giving someone a call about it. There should be no reason for them to be back ordered or out of stock on something like that. Call and give them grief about it.

great lisa ! ! . You know i am ready for that feeling. But.. it is getting better with the eating now and moving around. I saw some papya enzme at Walmart, had to go ahead and get it for later on. I guess I think walmart should have everything I could possibly need. Now i have the Biotin, and papya enzme and some Protein Powder, just not the bullets. , anything else I need? Of course, I had to break down and buy some benefiber. LOL. Ya'll are such great support and full of info for me. Thanks again for it. I even got to move my ticker today.

      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.
