Get some sippy cups w no spill proof lids. Another good thing is to get sf Jello sf Popsicles and other clear stuff. At my preop class they told us everything to get and it will make ya feel better.

Get yourself a couple pretty plates child size like corning ware salad plates. Crystal light it will still count as a Water. I get the packets cause it just ads to a 16.9 oz.bottle. I'm starting to buy my tomorrow. Walmart. has sugar free muscle milk 100 calories 4 pack. I bought it to try and LOVE it!!! 15 grams Protein. Good luck!

I bought my muscle milk at Walmart, 4 pack for $5.98. I just bought 10 packs for $59.80. That's 40 bottles. If you have a Vitamin Shoppe near you they sell individual bottles if you want to try it. Syntex NectarNectar isolate is also good. Plus if you buy what they sell and don't like it you can return itit. For those of you that don't know, isolate means it will desolve better.

oh and my but said we can drink sugar free carnation instant Breakfast for your Protein Shake. Another drink (hard to find) is Special K Protein packets pink lemonade flavor. My daughter-in-law said she orders them from Amazon.com

Hello all! I had my appointment today with the surgeon. He agreed to complete my surgery, but is making me be smoke free for two months! He scheduled me for surgery 12/20. Glad to report I have not smoked in 3 days. It's been hell, but I'm doing it! Congrats to everyone who is in Nov. Good luck to you all!

Good luck. You can do it!!! I've been smoke free for 25 years. :) so I know it's not easy. Take the money you save for every pack of cigs you would havehave bought and take a little vacation with that money next year. Good luck again.

      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.
