Recommended Posts

Yeah, it's a way to get the Protein in other than shakes. It works much in the same way that Crystal Light does. Just put the powder in your Water. Ordered some cherry yesterday and it's on its way.

Hi All,

It's so wonderful to find others that are having surgery on the same date! :D

About myself; I'm 24yrs old female living in Australia and have a BMI of 33 with no complications however I do have a family history of obesity and other medical complications. My starting weight is 103kgs and my goal weight is 60-67kg.

I am just tired of yoyo dieting and having low selfesteem and pretty much being overweight.

I am self funded and have an appointment with my NUT on the 6/8/2015 through Skype consultation to discuss any pre op diet as I will be flying to sydney to have my surgery.

This year has got to be the most drastic year for me; from losing a loved one earlier this year to currently going through a break up. I know now that I need to focus on my self and my health right now and end this year with a positive change.

I would like to keep in contact with you all to see how everyone is doing post op.

Much love!

I'm also scheduled for Aug 17, and have been on my pre-surgery diet 2 weeks. I've looked around the iNet, and the best price I found the Syntrax Nectar was a place in New Hampshire. I ordered fuzzy navel, caribbean cooler and Dragon fruit. Their link is. http://www.nashuanutrition.com/store/bariatric-products/

      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.
