Helll everyone. New to siite. I actually started my journey back in 2010. I had the sleeve done and lost 70lbs. Then had gallstone attacks and had to have if removed then had a post op infection that put me back in the hospital. After 2 months I healed from that. And began to workout again only to suffer a knee injury. After 4 months of steriod shots and physical therapy i ended up going back under the knife and had to spend 3 months on rehab. All of this slowed down and then stopped my weight loss. After much thought and many tears I have chossen to undergo the full bypass. 9/17/12 is my second chance. Hopefully I will get the outcome I desire. Despite all I have went through. I'm more than postive I would do it all over again. Working my way through this liquid now and It is to say the least a challange. Wishing all of u the best of luck and will con't to keep you all up to date on my progress.

Hey Mark...your big day is to tomorrow!! I'll keep you and your doctors in my prayers. Just know the first couple of days are the hardest, but as EVERYONE says, it does get better. Walking truly is the cure for everything! When you feel up to it, let us know how you're doing!

      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.
