I'm doing much better today. Everything is still kind of running straight through me, but I am trying to get it all in and drink a little more slowly.

The Protein Shakes will grow on you. I'm working on some recipes to make them better. I added unsweetened almond coconut milk, Water, tiny bit of Splenda, and cocoa powder to a scoop of banana flavored Syntha-6. It's yummers, but I have to drink it soooo slowly.

Be patient and hang in there, it will get better! Our bodies just need time to adjust :-) and we will be healthier before we know it.

Shoot me a message anytime!

Hey everyone. My date is October 22nd. I noticed a couple of people' date=' Lucky T and 1SuperBonBon. I have Dr. Kim. My pre op is on the 16th so I don't know my time yet. I am so excited. No pre op diet. He just told me to continue with what I've been doing to lose the weight. I am so excited![/quote']

Hi, you and I are sleeve sisters. I am October 22 also. Pre op testing is Oct. 10. I won't know until then if and how long I would have to do a pre op diet. But I have cut back and have been trying shakes and bars. Good luck.

YES! Tons of patience. I'm guessing we will get used to it. I have been taking the first half hour of the day to make sure I get all of my meds and supplements in.

Yesterday wasn't great and I didn't get much in, but I've been taking it much slower today and I seem to be doing a lot better.

Slow and steady! We will get there :-D

One day liquid diet oMG I would have loved that as my pre op diet no 14 days. And then the day before surgery I have to drink 1/4 of this nasty liquid to clean my intestines I don't even want to think about it

      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.
