sandylynn88, I am 28, but started this when I was 26. I had a long hard battle with my insurance and initial surgeon of choice's office. I am now private pay and have a surgery date of 7/9. I too was a smoker. I have since switched to an electronic cigarette and have weened myself off nicotine(currently on just flavored vapor). Now for the eating in between what is allowed, make sure you are choosing healthy foods. Stock up on veggies! They give you the satisfaction of the munch and crunch of chips. I also turned to Dannon Fit and Lite greek yogurts for the desert flavors (let's be honest, their strawberry cheesecake and toasted coconut vanilla are amazing!). Small changes will give you big results! Take this one day and one step at a time! Best of luck to ya!

Hello all...Im about half way through the process, I have had 3 of my visits with the NP and the NUT, psych eval done, sleep test done (apnea for me ugh!), hoping for a late august or early september surgery date. Im drinking the premier Protein premade shakes for Breakfast Meal Replacement to get me ready and I really like them, not chalky at all. Good luck to everyone!

Re: Premier Protein shakes -- I am a big chocolate person, and I usually never even bother with vanilla flavored anything, but I have to tell you, the PP vanilla shakes are really good. I like them more than than the chocolate, which I never would have guessed. Also, you can make them flavored for variety, using Mio drops -- Tangerine Mio + PP Vanilla = Creamsicle flavor! I also got a big box of strawberry to try, but they're my least favorite flavor. I don't hate it, I just don't love it.

Great idea with the Mio!

      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.
