Gah!!!! I'm finally back on. I was going crazy not being able to talk to all my November peeps for a few days! Miss you guys. What's new? How have people done with surgery who have had it? And, people that are coming up - how have you guys been doing on your pre-op diets and losing weight?! I've got surgery the 22nd. I'll be starting day 4 of my 14 day pre-op diet tomorrow. The first couple days were REALLY hard. They have been getting easier...I'm still allowed to eat, I'm just on something called a "ketotic diet" which is basically like Atkins - high Protein, low fat - the only difference being I'm only allowed 4oz protein at Breakfast, 5 at lunch and dinner. Anyone else have something similar to this??

On the iPad app, try clicking on the second to last page, then the last page. It's the way I've been able to see the most current posts in older, long threads.

Phew! Finally found November!!! Hope everyone is doing well that had surgery during the shut down of rny talk. I had my surgery 11/6. Feeling pretty good actually. Having a hard time getting meds down and getting enough protein/fluids in but it seems like everyone has that problem right after. Any ideas to spice up my full liquid diet? ?? I happy I still love tomatoe soup!

I'm new to this thread, I had the gastric sleeve on Nov. 7th. It has been pretty hard to take liquids, but I highly recommend that everyone try as hard as you can to take the liquids b/c the dehydration headache is not worth it! It gets easier everyday. The hiccups and burbs are the most painful part for me...

I'm so excited to keep going, b/c I have already lost 11 pounds!

How's everyone else doing??

Good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow.

I was suppose to have mine tomorrow but it has been postponed again. I knew I would get sick after my 22 month old grandson puked on me 6 times Tuesday night lol. Dr office said I would be ok as long as I wasn't coughing up anything. Well that started last night. : (.

I called the Dr on call and he said if I was his patient he would cancel surgery. Due to my crazy work schedule due to the holidays, I may try for Dec 6 or Jan 13th.

But on the bright side..... I get to go Black Friday shopping!! Hubby is excited about that lol.

      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.
