Hey there! I don't start my pre-op diet until Sept 9. My insurance is the weirdest... If I lose 10% I don't qualify. Most you have to lose to qualify. Since I've already been approved, I should probably start trying to lose some before surgery just so I don't have to lose as much after.

I start my pre-op diet on August 27. I need to figure out what Protein supplements I want to buy, but haven't had time. My doctor recommends Bariatric Advantage.< /p>

A sample pack sounds like the way to go. A couple of websites offer them. I also want to try the chicken Soup. Several people I've spoken with bad trouble with sweet drinks after surgery, so I want to be prepared. I also heard the unflavored one is good for afterwards becuse you can add it to any soft foods for added Protein. My next challenge is giving up caffeine. I kicked the soda habit cold turkey many months ago and I've temporarily given up coffee when I was pregnant twice. I'm down to a out two cups of 1/2 caff, 1/2 Decaf mix, but I like the taste of coffee. I'm hoping to get a Protein Shake that tastes like coffee without the caffeine. :-)

I just got my Unjury order that was fast! Unfortunately I am having a bout of atrial fib ( rapid irreg heart beat) for the third time in 10 days. I am so upset I have had this condition for 8 years and this the most episodes I have had in a long time. The cardiologist has suggested a change in my meds but that requires hospitalization and monitoring. What a horrible day I am having and it started out so well. I started getting my pre op testing today my EKG this afternoon was perfect and I got my chest X-ray now this sighhhhhhhhh

I've done most of my testing. Not sure how much is left. I got a EKG yesterday and a chest x-ray today, so I have proof that I have a heart. Of course, my Mom suggests I get my head examined. She's sure they won't find anything. Ha ha!

I've been reading lots of posts by everybody. I wish this was less stressful for everyone, but I must admit, it does help to know that so many of us deal with all the surgery stress + other stress. Helps me feel like I will make it out just fine on the other side... And so will 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.
