Thank you guys for your support and words of encouragement. It is so helpful. :)

I am struggling too my darling. I am an emotional rollercoaster, worried about everything.. what I'm eating.. what I'm drinking.. what if I do this, what if I dont do that.. blah blah. I'm only down 15lbs in 3 weeks and I wanted faster results. I just bought some premeir Protein Shakes from sams club. they are 30g of Protein in one small tasty shake. 2 of those and I have just about met my protein goals. I am hoping this speeds things up for me. I still have some pain but its going away slowly. I get frustrated, I get overwhelmed, I get regrettful.. Its part of the journey and I have to believe that it will get better and it actually is day by day. If you ever need someone to talk to.. message me and I will be there for you at the drop of a hat. I understand what you are going through and I am going through the same thing. hugs!

Thank you so much for that. It has been really difficult. Sometimes I feel so defeated. I want to do this right. I've lost. Just 22 pounds after all of the weeks of liquid and soft diets. I've been walking everyday and it is working so far. I can't wait for 8 weeks! Ugh!

youre welcome. I know how it feels to read the forums where people just seem to breeze right through the surgery like its kittens and rainbows but for some of us, it is really hard.

Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone else is having acid reflux/heartburn since having surgery? I did not experience this until after having the surgery. Anyone have any advice, I'm living on Prevacid AC now :(

      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.
