You're in it for sure now! I'm glad you stalked for a while. I did too, and made my decision to have Dr Garcia perform my surgery on the 28th. I'll see you there!

Yes Parker. My sister told me to stop bring a chicken because hitting submit was not as easy as I thought it would be.

What an interesting post! "Stop, bring a chicken? " Sounds like something a hippy would do to protest the superficiality of the junior prom. :D

Edit: Oh, stop being a chicken. I finally figured out what you meant. No chicken protests are in the making. Good, they just get you expelled anyway. :angry:

Hi to everyone, including you stalkers!

I am three weeks out from surgery (Feb. 21st with Dr. Garcia in TJ through Ready4AChange) and I am feeling great! This week was very exciting as I added mushified deli turkey slices and "real" Soups to my diet. I've got one of those blender "wands" and it has been perfect for blending Protein powder into Soup.

My "go to" items right now are chocolate Protein Powder in (slighly cooled) Decaf coffee each morning and unflavored Protein Powder mixed into an 80 calorie dannon light greek yogurt at lunch. By afternoon, I've already had almost 60 grams of Protein. The Water intake is a struggle...my water bottle (with crystal light) is my constant companion. I also treat myself to a daily bottle of Vitamin Water zero. This surgery was the best thing that I have ever done for myself... I'm 66 years old...wish I had done it decades ago!

I donated a bunch of my "fatest" clothes yesterday... I have about 5 sizes worth of boxed clothes from prior weight losses! It is such an amazing, freeing feeling to know that I will never go back to this size/weight.

My recovery has gone better and faster than I ever could have imagined! Thank you so much, Dr. Garcia and your team!

      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.
