Hi Everyone,

This is a great group: Oct surgery dates! All the different comments from everyone's experiences is really helpful to me. I have been focusing on staying busy with doing things around the house that I have wanted to do but never have time for when I'm working. It helps with the huge change in lifestyle all this has created. Please don't stay away when things get difficult. We probably all have those times and it helps to share and learn from the sharing. My husband just got out of the hospital today. He's pretty unhappy. Missing food. I gave him the link to this website hoping it will be helpful.

I totally agree with you about the group, it's wonderful to have hundreds of people who are going through the same experience with you. Glad everything went well with your husbands surgery. I too think he'll enjoy the forum.

I'm making my Christmas gifts this year :) a lot of painting. But I'm still very weak so all I do is sleep, potty && drink my fluids an try n walk. It'd been very difficult to gain strength. I've just been sponge bathing an last night I had my Hubby help me get a real shower an I took all I had to not pass out :'(

      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.
