Hi all I have been on Protein Shakes since 12-19 but my doctor has me on 3 shakes 2 apples and a salad with grilled chicken and sugar free dressing daily down 7 pounds my stomach does get upset and what adds to it is when I had the endoscopic I had a stomach infection who knew so he put me on prepak which is 2 biaxin, 4 amoxicillin and 2 Prevacid kills my stomach . Pre surgical testing 1-3 then the count down till the 9th . My doctor wanted me to lose between 12 and 15 pounds before surgery I am sure I will do it this will be a great year for us.

Hi ladies,

This is my first post, but I'm having my surgery on January 8th! So good to "meet" others on the same schedule. I am on day 6 of the liquid diet and I don't think I've lost anything yet! The only thing I cheated with was a little orange two days running, but I think that's ok to eat. Had my pre- surgical testing done today and there is nothing left but to count down the days! Glad the headaches went away. My New Years Eve is ruined this year, but that's ok because next year I'm making my husband take me out because I will get to wear a sexy dress!!

So I survived my surgery, and the three days of nausea in the hospital (yuk) and now I am almost two weeks out trying to keep down food. It's proving difficult.

      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.
