Hi All

New to this site been stalking you all for awhile. I just got approval with a surgery date of Feb 16th according to the Health insurance. Waiting to hear from the Doctors office today. I would assume I will have to start the pre op soon. I have to admit I ate my last brownie this weekend. It felt so silly.

Same here! Just got my approval yest and scheduled for the 16th!! I'm so nervous/excited!!

How is everyone? Personally I'm finding the pre-surgery diet hard. It's a low fat diet and I am craving chocolate soooo bad. I'm fine with everything else as I was used to not eating bread, Pasta, rice etc but my biggest weakness is chocolate. I can mentally remind myself why I'm on the diet, and I generally feel good about everything else, it's just this one food!

Have you tried the muscle milk knockout chocolate pro series 32 G Protein shake. It's pretty thick, chocolate and I think tastes good.

$7.98 at Walmart for 4 of them.

They're helping me a lot right now at 12 days post op

Thank you for the suggestion I might see if I can find them online. Sadly though my pre-surgery diet only allows for a very small portion of milk, approx 300 ml. I'm really excited for my surgery next Tuesday, I just wish I was doing better at the diet.

Muscle "milk" misleading.

Read about it, it contains no milk, just milk Proteins.

Dr.'s have different guidelines and diets of course, but generally not to different, because surgeries the same. At least ask, you'd probably like it. Good luck!

My sleeve is Feb 16th. I was totally excited up to about 2 days ago. And now I'm super nervous. Not sure if I ordered enough Protein broth and powder. Nervous how long I'm going to be down. I have a 3 year old. Doc gave me 3 weeks off work. My manager thinks I might need more time to adjust.

You can get your surgery canceled for that. You don't know me and I don't mean to lecture but if you can't stay away from that you'll get sick later.

I only took a week off completely part-time 2nd week am only 15 days post op and I feel pretty good.

Mental readiness is the most important part. If you need to talk let me know, maybe I can help you feel better about a few things now that I've just experienced it. I was terrified, but it's not as bad as you think. It's been more exciting! ????already feeling changes that will only get better.

      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.
