Hey everyone,

Hope all is well and your progresses are moving forward. :)

So, today I go see my surgeon for my pre op visit. I get my 1000 cal diet at this time and start it on Monday. I am getting anxious and giddy! :wacko: I have yet to find a Protein Drink that I like, they all taste blah and coat my tongue.. weird! Suggestions?

I am 41 Start weight in May 288 lbs currently 272 lbs.

I'm concerned to join the Facebook page as I'm not posting anything about surgery on my Facebook. Will any of my friends see what I'm doing? Perhaps I need to create another account for just us.

Will be by invitation only. I will set it up so only the ones who want to join will know anything that is going on with you. If anyone else has that concern we can just keep it here.

I can have 4 bottles of Ensure plus three cups of skim milk per day... Not sure how it will be but will keep you posted :)

Lucky you, I get to drink 4-5 instant s/f Breakfast drinks with Water a day for two weeks. I was told I could take in 1 8oz serving of fat free milk a day. Lord give me patience and let my family still love me when I am through this..lol

your suggestion of creating another account is probably the best way to go. under all the FB rules in explainatiion is very vague as to who can see it. Better safe than sorry!

      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.
