Oh boy' date=' it has been a long trip and I am now less than 24 hours away from surgery. I started this 5 years ago before getting laid off and losing my insurance mid process. Started again about a year ago. I am 46, mother of 3, grandmother of one and been on a diet since I was 12! I am 5'11" and started at 313. I am at 275 now.

I am worried about my downtime, my husband travels and my kids are BUSY!!! He will be home my first week, but then he has to go back to work. How long before you can drive?

Thanks for all the information I have read in the last few months!

Vitamin question: where do u buy ur Vitamins from? And what exactly do you take.

I bought a 3 month supply from Celebrate.< /p>

A Multivitamin (chewable)

Calcium plus (has the D vitamins)

Biotin

calcium citrate chews

And I think B50

Biotin 10,000mcg at Walmart

Wellesse - liquid calcium citrate n D (orange flavor easy to take)

Multi Vitamin - Centrum has a chewable or you can do the children's complete (2 times a day)

Ask your Dr before taking B vitamins, unless u currently take them and he's aware. Then ask when to start the B back up.

All are at Walmart.

Try the Lean Drink from GNC. You may like better than Muscle Milk Light. I drank the already made shakes' date=' but comes in powder form. If you don't like it GNC takes back and will refund 100%.[/quote']

      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.
