@@lkh1986 my pre-op isnt going well.

my nerves have shot almost everything I have been trying to maintain the past month.

I over indulge in some foods  I am not sleeping well and I am literally making myself sick, causing an empty stomach, causing hunger, causing too my re-feuling causing upset stomach, and the cycle goes around and around.

 

I went online to buy some Protein fruit drink packets and got so overwhelmed with the variety and companies to choose from that I completely shut down.  

 

I am leaving for holidays on Thursday and back on Tuesday.  Tuesday will be the day I turn myself around.  We are out camping in the bush for 5 days so I will be able to re-group myself and calm these nerves.  

Sorry to hear your struggling so much.  There are a lot of options on what to buy.  After reading lots of posts and being in some FB support groups I have kinda went with the majority and I ordered Unjury unflavored protein packets and PB2 powder.  I ordered GENEPRO unflavored protein powered of of Amazon.  I think I would like to try the nectar stuff but I am going to wait a bit.  All these products are so expensive.  I have also been using Premier Protein that you can get from Sams Club or Walmart.  Its a much better deal at Sam's.  Don't beat yourself up.  Do what you can do and if you make a mistake, get back on track again as soon as possible.  Hope  you enjoy your holiday.  Im going on a small get away the last weekend of August myself.  Will be interesting camping/boating with a bunch of people and Im suppose to be only doing shakes and veggies!

Just wanted to say that for all who have chosen Dr Fernando Garcia, excellent choice. He performed my lap band to VSG revision and it was a complication free surgery. You are all in good hands!!

Best wishes!

I am going for a revision, again, with a Bariatric Pal Dr Zavalza and am scheduled for Sept 4th.

best wishes everyone!

      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.
