Pre -Op on the 23rd but I'm kind of nervous... I was suppose to get to 280 before surgery but I'm currently 270... I had my wisdom teeth pulled so I've been on a liquid diet... I'm worried they'll think I've lost too much on my own..

Ok fellow sleevers, I need assistance please...

I need to start taking Vitamins pre not post op....are there any suggestions on which ones 2 buy???

Im currently taking Centrum and they are pretty good. My surgeon think they were as well. I'm not looking forward to those chewable bariatric vitamins. I've been sampling them over the past 2 weeks. So I've decided to get the crystal Multivitamin and Calcium. I don't think anyone offers the Iron and B 12 in crystal form :(. Good luck on your journey!

Hey everyone!! I am from Texas and having surgery October 15th! I am super excited and nervous all at the same time. I am the heaviest I have ever been, I have been splurging a lot lately. I agree with Kathy that I think the hardest part will be the preop diet. I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I'm not too worried about that. What kind of Protein Shakes is everyone buying?

I've been drinking the chocolate fudge, EAS carb control shakes. At a support group meeting I heard they have hot Protein Drinks on berriwise.com I hear their hot chocolate flavor is really good!

      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.
