I guess with the shakes he has me drink Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement act just like a laxative and I've been using it since Jan so I should be really cleaned out

My doctor has me drinking Bariatric Advantage too. Now bowel cleanse before surgery either!

Hey did u add ice? Maybe vanilla or another extract?

I personally have to hold my breath to get this stuff down and just stash a couple in a large purse whenever I am heading out...

I tried adding ice, but don't like the texture in the end. I mix it with 6 oz skim milk, shake it in my Blender Bottle, and then add a few whole ice cubes. It keeps it cold long enough to get it down. I'm thinking of adding cinnamon to the vanilla one to give it a different flavor.

I am starving. I've had little cheats and I get so mad at myself. I do awesome all day and then screw up at night. I'm gonna call the dr tomorrow, I'm so afraid I messed up my chances for surgery. I'm so disgusted in myself.

I feel your pain....Sunday I can only do Clear liquids, that should be awesome! At least it isn't a work day so I don't have to be too productive, just get the kiddo, puppies, and I packed up and moved over to my parents for the week. One more work day!!!! Yay!!! One of my patients this morning looked at me and said 'are you okay? You look a little pale and tired.' I'm trying to hide it but obviously failing!

Do your best, these last couple days are the most important!!!!

I'm sore as Hell, but it's done. Being model patient, in spite of the pain I feel better than anticipated. Still NPO for now, but even the tiny bit Water I swallowed from the swab was felt in my pouch. Odd feeling.

Kelly it's not until Monday. Just stick w it and at night only have sf Jello or sf Popsicles at note. The preop diet is to also retrain our minds and how we think of foods... We are to eat to live not live to eat. Our past cheats added up and got us in health and weight troubles....

It is hard. I am starting therapy to address dealing w stuff (highs and lows) w food or cheats.

When I cleared out my kitchen pantry and fridge of any fattening or sugary stuff and only bought healthy stuff to cook or eat on the go. Getting everyone in on better family health helps w accountability partnering.

It's 3:00 am and I'm laying in bed starving. This sucks!!! Yesterday morning when the alarm clock went off I was dreaming that I died during surgery. Woke up with tears running down my face. Tonight while I was laying in bed with my son before tucking him in I realized he was snuggled up against me crying. After much discussion I realized he's afraid this surgery will change me 'and I love you just like you are now'. He's okay, just scared (I got divorced when he was tiny so it's been just the 2 of us forever...we are really close and he is a bit on the sensitive side). HE wants mommy to be healthy too so he's on board, just worried. This sucks. So ready to get the show on the road.

I think I can,I think I can, I think I can......

      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.
