Hi everyone. You have all been so helpful, thanks so much! I am in Montreal right now & tomorrow is my surgery. Pretty nervous. So afraid of failing as I have failed so many diets. Dr Gagner has been very thorough. I am not afraid for the surgery, because of his thoroughness in regards to all my allergies. I won't be able to take anything stronger than Tylenol, once I have surgery done so I hope it's not too painful. Montreal is beautiful. It's right downtown & close to the hospital. So far so good. It's almost 11:30 pm here & even with being awake 4am my time (2 hours or is it 3? Ahead here) I can't sleep. Anxious. They had me go on a 1 day clear liquid diet, that's it. When I got to the hotel, by the way they cover 2 nite sin hotel, one with nurse, they had bottled Water, Jello, Gatorade, & broth all waiting for me. Very nice. Felt very well taken care of. Can hardly wait to meet my team tomorrow. I did have problems trying to find a low cal, low sugar high Protein shake/drink that I don't have to take out a 2nd mortgage for, lol. Bought the Atkins though, which is affordable but not very high protein-wise. Perhaps I am reaching to high for protein content? I'll figure it out. Wish me luck & pray everything works out! Will let everyone know how I do, which is hopefully very well. Hope I succeed at losing weight & not failing this time. Talk to you all soon & again, thanks for all your comments!! Sure helped me out!

Good luck! It will go fine. He's a great Dr.

I liked vanilla vega Protein. It's the Protein and greens not vega one. I think they discontinued it but it's still available at costco. I mixed it with unsweetened chocolate almond milk.

      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.
