My name is Robyn. I am having my surgery Dec 7th @ Billings Clinic. I just completed one week of the liquid diet & have a week to go. I definitely need to find a different Protein drink if I am going to last another week.

I highly recommend Premier Protein in chocolate. You can buy it at Sam's or costco.< /p>

My original surgery date was December 20th, but now it's been moved up a week, so I will be having my surgery in NC on December 13th! I am so excited! It's like I have been waiting for this my entire life. I had lapband surgery in 2009 and had nothing but problems, but I honestly think this is going to be successful and one of the greatest things to happen. I can't wait!!

Yay! We are on the same day! ")

I completely understand what you mean. I would ask my hubby to handle crowd control while I go through all of this. As people call him to ask for room info, etc. he can politely say, "I don't think she's up for visitors right now, maybe after she gets home." Besides, if he's anything like my husband he probably doesn't want all those people hanging around either!

Good idea. You know what else? You can always tell the people that want to visit that you aren't really to have visitors other than hubby and immediate family for short periods of time because your surgeon would like you to rest as much as possible. I would say that and then say that you would love if they came to visit you at home a a day or two after surgery when you've had some time to rest. That way you aren't really lying, cause a lot of surgeons, and your nursing team, would definitely suggest that, but they don't in order not to offend anyone, lol. And that way is isn't coming directly from you, so it softens the blow a bit. Just a thought. ")

Yep put it in your hubby or when I was delivering my baby I didn't want the whole family in their even though they could b, so one of the nurses took over...she looked at me and asked you want some privacy...And I said yes so she explained that there are going to be a ton of nurses and drs coming in and for that as soon as it settles down she would come get a few at a time...it ending up being such a wonderful experience between hubby and myself and was so thankful for that nurse because I just felt bad asking every1 to leave. U r right it's your time, do it your way!

I know this probly sounds bad but here goes.... from the start my family has been very supportive of my choice to have this RNY surgery and has been very involved with all my apps and stuff ((like wanting to know EVERYTHING)) & now that my surgery is monday and I am so stressed and full of emotions as it is I find out that most of them want to be at the hospital with me..... And it might sound mean but this is my time for me I don't want to be stressed out by constant visitors I just want it to be me and my hubby and more than likely my mom ( I am the only child and dad passed away when I was 6) so I can't say no to her but how do I tell the others to stay away without sounding rude or mean because I know they are just trying to be supportive :(

I had family wanting to be at the hospital for support, too. Politely told them that I would rather not have company. So then they offered to come out the weekend I get home. Again, I politely turned them down. Now if I had offers of general house cleaning, cooking (for the rest of the family), or laundry I would take them up on it in a heartbeat..... lots to do this weekend and thankfully, I've been getting a lot accomplished.

So this weekend is my final days of eating "normal". Each this is all I think about. Feeling so anxious and terrified of the two week liquid diet. From what I've seen my doctor has a more strict two week diet than everyone else. 5 sugarfree carnation instant brk with Water, 8oz skim milk, sugarfree Jello and popsicles, crystal light and that's it. Its about 600 calories per day. I'm terrified. I really hate feeling hungry makes me crazy in the head. I'm fear being angry,frustrated, and severe withdrawls. Guys I'm so freaked out two weeks!!!!!

It's not easy that's for sure but I found after the first week the cravings get better. I've been on a pretty restricted liquid diet too ( only 4 bottles of high Protein ensure, skim milk and water) so understand how you feel. I have 1.5 weeks left and know that anything can be accomplished if you out your mind to it. Hang in there!

For those of you doing liquids I HIGHLY recommend doing the sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast, mixed with ff milk, heated, and then put SF vanilla Creamer in it! It is the best hot chocolate ever! I have also done it as hot chocolate with Peanut Butter in it. That way it is about double the protein! Soooo GOOD!!!

      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.
