Doing really good here! Have trouble some days getting in liquids and then others its a breeze! Only complication is Constipation ugh! But recovery has been fairly easy! Good luck to you! It's an amazing journey and is mental challenging at times but I wouldn't take it back for a minute!

It was he told me to lose the weight but I didn't I thought he would still go through with the surgery but he said it's not safe so I gotta lose the weight I made my bed now I have to lay in it

I'm really sorry. I am sure that is very frustrating. You got this! You can and WILL do it! Low carb is what did it for me and my pre op diet seems to be quite effective too.

I am up and ready. Reporting to the hospital for 6am. I pray for minimal gas pains and less prodding. I am going to put on my big girl panties and suck up the whole experience.

See you all on the losers bench.

I have found that GNC AMP Protein is not THAT bad. The Cookies and cream mixed with Water is actually pretty good. It mixes smooth and doesn't have a bad after taste. Good thing about GNC.. if you don't like it... take it back and they will refund you <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Wow I have to try that... Thank You

      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.
