Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am 12 hours from my hospital check in time and I am excited, nervous, and relieved at the same time. Thanks forum members for sharing and helping me through the pre-op phases!

I had mine three weeks ago. Everything went smoothly. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. It's actually much much easier. I'm so glad I did it and you will be too! Best of luck to you and don't be nervous!

Feeling better every day since surgery. Just had my first Protein shake, having some pain, but making it though. It feels great to have this tool, and I cant wait to feel better and use it to its fullest potential. thanks for all the encouragement and prayers. :)

      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.
