Melissa- good luck

Maria- always nice to hear the insides are looooking good (i am saying that with Rocardo montebans voice)

jess929 keep breathing you are doing great, glad they changed your meds.

jessica(janelane) you look so nice in the pic if a bit scared/nervous by the time you read this it will be all done! yeah!

Lailani I thought I had written your name in on the list now that I see it again i remember commenting that I thought it was a very pretty name hmmmmm have to go fix that! and make the new post ops red.

Ramona- i have tried a couple protien drinks and I like Unjury all the flavors vanilla strawberry and choc. I mix half a scoop of strawberry witht he scoop or scoop and a half of choc for an awesome shake. I have seen people recommend limited purchases because our taste buds change after surgery. so get a few to try but don;t invest in big quantities until after. I also tried banana myfusion and that was very good.

Pebbles- YOU GO GIRL YOU ARE SUCH A "LOSER" YEAH!keep it up

I see you are a RN in the and L&D ? so it has to be..lol, i worked in the ER for 4 years, oh boy... they are in for a treat, when i go in for surgery, I told the Dr, please place the foley after im a sleep and call up to L&D for some Lidojet for when you take it out, I also want a fill and flow, before they remove it as i DO NOT want to go into urinary retention.. god help me..(also did 4 years in urology). thanks for cheering everyone on as they go to and come out of surgery.. :P

Has anybody found a Protein Shake that they really like? I've only tried carnations instant and it was pretty good but I wanted to try others. Thanks

My Mom went to the GNC store and brought a TOTAL LEAN shake vanilla bean flavor. It has a fantastic taste. It has 25 grams of Protein. To me it tastes like an ice cream shake.

My thoughts and prayers for you and your daughter.my first husband was a ff and did search and recovery that day and the many days that followed..my heart goes out to you and yours on this day..

Thanks, your words are so kind..your husband is an Angel. My daughter was only 8 when it happened. I hated the phone calls when they kept finding his remains. Each call was a healed wound opened all over again.I want this depressing day to be over and start a new one tomorrow.

      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.
