Actually I have a ton of things to get. I'm horrible with procrastination. I still need to get the Protein powder, Vitamins, Probiotics, clean my house from top to bottom, and send in some paperwork to work. On the bright side I have until Aug 25th to do it all.

I am scheduled for August 18th. I started stocking the shelves with broth, sugar free Jello and pudding, and a variety of Protein Drinks. I also went to GNC and got chewable Multi Vitamins and chewable B12. A good blender is next on my list.

Oh is the FB group secret? I don't want everyone on my FB to know I'm getting surgery

No, it's a closed group (it tells the type of group in the upper right corner) which means that you have to be approved to join or read the posts but anyone can see that you're in it.

My surgery is scheduled for 8/12 and my 2 week pre-op liquid diet starts tomorrow. I've also started buying stuff and stocking up on stuff I'll be needing. Also on the FB group, will all my friends see that I'm I the group? I haven't and will not be announcing on my FB that I'm having surgery.

      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.
