I think this is a great idea. Maybe we can keep in touch throughout the journey. My surgery is scheduled for September 30th also. I look forward to the next morning when its over. I felt both numb and anxious when I got my date. I went on a bing which I am now trying to recover from. It was my nerves. I got back on the wagon and now I am making my lists in preparation for my new birth - lol. I know its going to be hard......I have heard about the mental hunger that comes. Oh la la. I need help yall. I don't have anyone. Glad I found you all. Love, Peace and Prayers to each of you.

I found it hard to find protein drinks I actually liked...i don't like milkshakes or milky products..so it makes it tough to find one. I finally found the most "decent" one is the Isopure Plus. Easy to get down, and the aftertaste is manageable. Has 15g of protein. And no carbs. I got the alpine punch flavor.

I'm scheduled for September 23. Today is my first day of pre-op prep. Not as hungry as I thought I'd be so I'm happy. I can't wait for the 23rd!!! I am still trying to find a Protein Drink that tastes good to me. I like the idea of Protein that has no flavor at all because I find some to be way too sweet. Glad to be in touch with others in the same boat as me.

Yes it is! I'm trying to stay focused. I know I have it better than some, but I still need to be mindful. I have my preop appointment in the morning. I hope learn a lot.

Just had my surgery on Sept.5th at the OCC and am 5 days post op! I feel like I have so much energy at times and then have moments I need to rest. I haven't lost any weight yet and was told by another sleever she didn't in loose the first week. I do feel smaller so I am thinking I am loosing inches. I am getting used to dealing with the head hunger but so great full I have this tool where I can't eat. It's seems to be getting better everyday. Liquids are going down great too:)

      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.
