Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Friday is the day!



Recommended Posts

Ok, went to the store and bought the following for the trip, anything I am missing? : gas X strips, hidden wallet for passport/money to wear for the trip, small pillow, some extra bandages and antiseptic spray (for trip home?), travel toiletries, baby wipes, loose pajamas for hotel. I already have an extension cord/Ipad/phone/laptop type stuff. I think I am just going to pack enough for a carry on and one small string bag for the plane.

Okay, I've got a silly question - when I think of an extension cord I think of those great big heavy things in the garage - where do I get an extension cord from for my tablet etc ?

I was thinking of joining one but I was worried that they could see my posts on the side of FB?...you know where other people can see what you "like" and make comments on, even if they are not the same friends?

      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.
