With daycare, I wouldn't hurry back. I go back to work on the 17th and the main reason my doc is ok with that is that my first week is full of meetings. By the time kids come on the 25th I will be almost 3 weeks banded.

Something to think about- I'm not supposed to life over 10 pounds.

Hi everyone. i just joined the forum. my surgery date is on the 25th of August. but I'm starting my liquid diet on the 15th August.

I'm just wondering if that is too late? I have a work fuction to go tomorrow and I wont be able to do my liquid diet yet.

I'm worried that it might affect the sugery. What are the risk if I dont follow the liquid diet?

I would really love to join a group so i could chat you all of you personally. I'm only 23 and is extremely nervous for my surgery. Is there any way of adding someone via social apps?

      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.
