I went to truenutrition.com and bought cold-filtered grass fed whey Protein Powder. Its the best for you and has 27 g of Protein in one scoop. You can put it in anything like Soup, milk, yogurt, etc. Comes in unflavored and any flavor you can think of.

Starting to get nervous. Less than three weeks to my surgery date sept 3. Yesterday coworkers noticed i am not on the schedule' date=' asking why. Well i figured they might as well know, since i will come back to work with hydration and possible dumping issues.

I have Protein powders and Vitamins for postop, gonna load up on bottled Water and catfood before surgery.

I have tried out ultram (tramadol) for joint pain, and discovered it really makes me itch. So its back to just tylenol and ice for me. Oh well. Tomorrow is my preop appointments with Dr and RN . Its really gonna happen.

Can i get the house clean before? So much to do ...

Hey shershrinking,

I haven't told anyone at work about the surgery, except my boss and my closest coworker. I have mixed emotions on telling them. One part of me wants too, just to get it off my chest. But the other part, is saying no, you don't need to tell them. It is none of there business and I don't need the critisim and possible negative feedbacks.

This is causing me to be stressed the closer it gets to surgery because I'm extremely organized and I'm nervous about my work that will be handled when I'm gone. If they knew, I can work with them to get more of the workload done while I'm gone, but if I ask for it now, they will wonder what is up. Ugh!

I'm not a superstitious guy normally, but they have my surgery scheduled for Sept 11 (9/11) which also means I will be in the hospital for Friday the13th.... both dates don't have the best history. :unsure:

Mine requires two nights two. I will be going in Tuesday morning and leaving Thursday morning. I would be worried about the dates. Just stay positive, be prepared and everything will work out!

Guys, I am really sorry. Some ppl just plain suck. We have to just write them off and focus on ourselves and the loved ones that actually matter.

      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.
