Stop exercising for now. Your putting on muscle. Wait until after for that. You need to look at what your drinking. How many sugars are in it and how much Protein. Try between 15 and 20 g of protein per shake, 11 oz to 14oz only. Muscle milk lite is awesome tasting and has about 20is g of protein. EAS Myoplex and Atkins are also excellent tasting and in the correct range. I get 4 - 5 shakes or a bar and 4 shakes or 4 shakes and a Soup. All the non starchy veggies and 3 Servings of fruit and thats it. 800 - 1000 calories per day.

I saw the surgeon today and got all my Vitamins and Protein supplements (is that not racket? $350 for 90 days of vitamins am two bags of Bariatric Advantage protein). I am lucky - I don't have to do a full liquid pre-op except the day before. I'm on three shakes a day and one lean meal. He explained that it has to do with BMI. I am a 38 BMI (major comorbities), so he feel confident my liver will be okay on that. Makes me happy. I am starting the pre-op tomorrow and then on July 14 I go to Clear Liquids for my July 15 date. It is starting to feel real!

Howdy y'all! My date is July 1st and I'm BEYOND ready! I was wondering if any of the July Sleevers write blogs? If so' date=' what is your blog called so I can follow you! Mine is http://kjordanjournal.blogspot.com. I just started about a month ago and I absolutely love the therapeutic feeling I get from "putting it all out there!"

I look forward to keeping up with this group and celebrating with you on the looser's bench! Good night!

      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.
