Hi everybody

I'm from NJ and I'm in month #2 of my 6 month pre-op diet. I would like to know if anybody has been under the care of and had surgery with NJ Bariatric Center and how was your experience.

Hi everyone, I'm POD19 from my sleeve surgery. I'm doing pureed now although I still get comfort in my liquids. I'm honestly having a hard time getting my Protein in...and my liquids. Looking for anyone who is willing to be a friend during this process who understands how hard this ish is. :D :(

Hi DivineRN, What really helped me were my Premier Protein shakes about 30g of protein per serving really helped me get a good amount in quickly. I also kept a large bottle of Water with a natural protein flavor packet with me all day and sipped as much as I could! Lastly, greek yogurt, cottage cheese and pureed chicken pot pie were go to's. Hope had helps! The scale moving kept me pretty motivated during that time.

@@NoMoreWeightNJ I'm so happy that stage us over. I'm doing much better now that I'm eating food again. I'm able to get anywhere from 85 to 100 in Protein. Water is a whole different beast.

      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.
