I haven't checked in the hair thing, but I need to. I have a full head of hair and would like to keep it like that to be quite honest... I did the Gas-x, but not for the gas from the surgery (what they blow you up with) . I had a lot of gas inside of stomach, which I used the Gas-x for.

Maybe you can establish a whole new schedule with your new stomach... You won't get your Protein in if you wait until 2PM to start on it.

Sounds like you are all beat up... LOL

Yep look into that. Don't want a Kojack! Lol. 10,000 mg a day. Start it now. I lost a bunch after my elbow surgery. Took a tool on my hair and it's thin to begin with.

Your right about the Protein. I'm workin on it ????

Also ya that's what I mean the gas ex for. I know they blow ya up with all that air and it gets trapped ????

Hi Clad and everyone! All of this talk about Protein Shakes, I had to go try the LiquaCel sample I got...it was clear and I mixed it with a little Water. It was very sweet but tolerable. Not thick or chalky. I had the grape flavor. They sell it at Target too. Has anyone tried any other flavors of Liquacel?

You can mix them with milk also. I actually use Fairlife, as it has more Protein than regular milk. Obviously you wanted do that with the fruit ones.

if you go on the website for gasp you can join and meet with people. unfortunatly i live in md and its too much of a drive to go except for the convention. it is a lot of fun 3 days of nothing but games and geeky people of all kinds. if you like d&d or any other table top rpg there are loads of people to play with

      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.
