Hi Gia24, please send me an invite my fb name is christinegigiqueenimanihoward. thanks

Are any of you on Facebook? I created a page for westcoast wls people, since I get on here infrequently since the new change. I am in a few groups on fb for support but there seems to be a lot of drama so I wanted to create my own group. Originally I wanted it strictly for AZ people but I didn't know a lot of AZ people so expanded it to include the west coast, so that we can find locally people in our area and meet people going through the same things we are, I'm looking for new friends who've had WLS and who can identify with my journey, since a lot of my non wls friends either don't know, or don't understand what I'm going through. I'd like to get a workout buddy too, to help encourage each other to reach our goals and figured there might be others out there looking to do the same. If your interested let me know, I'd be happy to send an invite!

      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.
