Ooh I loveee my BA shakes bc they're so thick. I think it's made the two week preop diet better. Are you telling me that feeling will change after surgery??

Not sure after surgery, mine isnt till the 31st, started preop diet today with the shakes, I like the Unjury, but tried the sample of the BA, was too thick even added more lactaid milk to it, still thick, has a strong smell. glad it was only a sample.

I am feeling really good! Thanks Lola! I'm sure the BA shakes just bring back bad memories because I was so ready to leave the hospital and it was holding me back. My only adverse reaction to surgery was nausea. Once they were able to get that under control, I was able to start walking. Good luck this week, Lola! Try to start walking as soon as you can... It really does help with gas. I really wanted to fart so bad but couldn't! Ha! Tell the anesthesiologist that you are prone to motion sickness. They will give you lots of nausea meds. Didn't work for me, but I must be a wus! :0) feeling sore, but good 7 days out! Are you up to or row? I'll be praying for you!

      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.
