Love to hear you're doing so well! Wow, I hope I do that good once I get surgery. Did you find your tastes have changed? Sounds like 2 oz is working for you so continue in my friend!

For those of you getting ready. 1 thing that REALLY HELPED my after surgery process was to take either drunk 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar EVERY DAY UNTIL SURGERY or take 50 billion probiotic with 20+ strand. This prepares your stomach for all the stress and helps eliminate the gas and pain. Im thankful i did it.

Yes my tastes have changed ALOT and my sense of smell. I can smell the faintest of odors.

Wow, interesting about the apple cider, never thought about that. my boss said her taste preferences has really changed since her surgery in June. Funny about the sense of smell, wouldn't think that would be effected.

Hello April!

Good luck next week and you will have to keep us posted as to how you are doing. I'm excited as I'm half way thru my 6 month ordeal required by insurance so it looks like February will be my surgery. I just had my scope, EKG and chest x-ray done so that is out of the way. Dr. Oldham is really great!

It will be here before you know it. Keep us posted on how you're doing. I think Dr. Oldam is pretty amazing! He seems to sincerely care about his patients.

      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.
