I remember someone saying there's a site where you can buy Protein Powder samples, does anyone know that site?

Scheduled for surgery on June 16th! It's starting to feel real now! Anyone else on the 16th?

Surgery for me is tentatively scheduled for 6/18. We are still looking for a co morbidity so that my insurance will cover. But if they don't pay I will pay for it myself. I will have a gastric sleeve. I am 5'3 ". 215 lbs. my last test is a sleep study next week.

Yes 5 precious babies that I want to be around along time for..... When is your surgery

Tentatively scheduled for June 18th. My surgeon is still trying to find a co morbidity so that insurance will cover. I will pay for it myself if insurance doesn't pay. I have 3 Grandchildren ages 18, 13 and 9. I have 2 grown sons and a wonderfully supportive husband. I work as an RN helping women who have just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Hope to retire end of this year

      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.
