I keep checking to see if I have a surgery date buddy and close but not quite. Today the 'light' went off and I realized that it's wishful thinking. My surgery date here in Canada is Thanksgiving Day in the states, lol. November 28th.. well I am very happy with it just the same :-)

Hello soonerorlater, and thanks for the information. I will find out everything on the 28 of Oct. Was Unjury Protein Drinks one of your options?

Yes it was one of my options. I know I looked it up but dont remember if it was too expensive for me. I bought one called Pure Protein Powder. It taste ok, havent tried any other ones yet so dont have much to compare to.

Hahaha awesome! Let the suffering begin I guess!

I hope I do alright on the liquid, that I'm not H-ANGRY all the time. The only part of surgery that worries me is the IV... Never had one and I have a phobia of people touching my veins and tendons so I'm thinking a needle being in there is gonna make me pass out/throw up.

That and my dad decided he wanted to be the one to come with me. Hopefully he doesn't need to help me go to the bathroom or witness me tripping over my own feet and rip my gown off... Cause if it would happen to anyone, it would be me hahaha.

I'm so jealous of you all!!! I will have my paperwork submitted to insurance before end of October, so the earliest I would be is Dec. sometime. I'm PRAYING they don't make me do the 6 month WL plan...

      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.
