It was really fast....I got my surgery scheduled the day I met with the surgeon as well...I lost 8.4lbs from Orientation to my surgeon meeting. He actually offered me August 6, so it could have been a lot faster for me, but my son is in summer camp and I had already scheduled a week to stay home with him...he then offered me the 17th. but that's the first day of school :-( and I want to be the one to drop him off for his first day as a 1st grader.

so August 24! can't wait I am a little nervous mostly about the pain, and the loose skin.....but staying positive! :-)

Hope you get your surgery date soon!

He said he was pleased on how much I had lost thus far and it looked like we were ready to schedule.

I don't have a fatty liver so that might be why?


I started the pre op diet two days after I went to orientation

I really don't. I am still trying to find chewable vitamins I like and trying to find a tasty Protein Shake. Do you know of any tasty Protein Drink?

What flavor did you try? I have tried the vanilla and the chocolate and I really did not like it. Bought cans at trader joes.

So far powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate and vanilla are okay.

      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.
