All my Protein Shakes are made with Water. I'm not fond of chocolate but I got the vanilla' date=' Cappuccino, strawberry, wildberry and a few others. I think after the surgery I will be more creative and use the Unjury for a base and use the dry Peanut Butter high in Protein that they have. I got a lot of great ideas on Pinterest. You should check it out.

Have been thinking of everyone having surgery! Hoping all goes well :)

I just had an appointment with the cardiologist and he wants a stress test which is fine but its a 2 day test b/c of my weight and i'm am scheduled for surgery on Monday... AHHH... they could only fit me in on Friday after noon, and by doing the days backwards i'm doing part of it now. I hope the dr doesn't want to postpone my surgery!

Hello everyone. Just wanted to give a quick update....I am doing awesome. Probably drank Water too fast thing morning so I'm sitting in a chair and it feels better. My nurse today had the surgery back in October so it's nice she knows what I need. I'm a bit sore and only took my pain meds once this morning....they gave me that clotting shot and that stung so I took it :D I do wish everyone who is having surgery today a good and speedy recovery. I can't believe I am here but it feels great.

So happy for you!! I'm so glad your doing well. I can't wait until next Tuesday. But of course I'm probably going to need some words of encouragement the morning

/night of surgery. I think the nerves are setting in . :o

20 lbs is great!! :-) good for you. We all can't wait to join you. Are you hungry at all? Is it hard to get the Protein in? How does your stomach feel? Sorry all the questions. I'm too inquisitive sometimes. Lol

It's like the surgery day wasn't coming soon enough, but on the other hand now - its the countdown! Can't wait to wear a great pair of boots with skinny jeans and have my shirt tucked in with a belt. So many things I want to do!! I just hope I don't lose too much boobs! Sorry, just saying! TMI right?

      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.
