Hey Ms Tiffany to more 8 more days left sista. Im doing the happy dance for you... Are you able to contain yourself... Is your mom excited to be going with you.. My mother is already trying to pack her suitcase and she has a whole month to go before she gets here to Florida...

I also wanted to ask you are you doing the pre op diet and if so how are you doing with that.. I am slowly but surely doing more shakes now and watching what I eat to just try and get into the routine of having different eating habits..

Hazel to be honest i have my days some days i'm like YAYY! then others im nervous and scared.. I don't think my mom is excited because shes nervous but i know that she's supportive about it and will stand behind me anyway she can. Today was my first day on the diet and oh man those Protein shakes are so gross.. i had a shake for Breakfast and lunch and (1) meal consisting of boneless chicken and salad.. if i got hungry i ate a piece of sugarless gum..

i don;t like the diet but i know i HAVE to do it you know.. what do you think about the shakes? what shakes are you drinking?

Ms Tiff i can understand about the shakes because some of them can be so nasty ooohhh my goodness. I have tried so many but what I use now is just the Lean shakes from GNC mostly the chocolate flavor. Now if I get vanilla flavor I add it with sugar free fruit juice and that makes it much better.. But they say that the Isoplus is the best a little pricey but worth it.. I do have the isoplus liquid and it is not a problem. That also comes in alot of flavors. But basically you might have to just keep on tryin other brands until you find what you like. Everyone is different. But good luck honey just make sure you are getting in all your protien because after surgery that will be your major goal everyday... :rolleyes:

      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.
