Good morning! I'm in Chesapeake, with surgery in Newport News. I went to a seminar on Saturday, did a 1on 1 Tuesday and will probably have a July or August date. It's going much faster than I thought, with only a few prerequisites. We have a vacation planned in early July, so I'll wait til after for surgery.

Drinking Water is one of my 3 adjustments thus far. I've also cut out all carbonation (boo hoo!) and weaning off caffeine. So far these are my obstacles. I set alarm on my phone to remind me about water. It's not that I don't like water, I simply forget! I have menopause brain.

      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?

      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.
