Close friend said that? Man that's cold! I am dreading my pro-op diet which starts on April 25. We have to remember the long term goal and go one day at a time!

And tell your 'friend' to go jump in the lake!

She didn't mean to. It was accidental. She was talking about moving into her new place and that date and me coming over for dinner because I can eat then and she mentioned her move date.

My day 1 was a lot of head hunger. Starting to feel for real hungry now :( ugh

Oh yes! The struggle is real! The pre-op was the worst! I still feel a bit traumatized from having to go through it. Protein Soup and broth became my lifesavers during pre-op.

Today has been worse! Lol. My day started with pre opp testing so no food and no water! I was dehydrated so the nurse had trouble drawing blood and had to dig around in my arm before having to move to my hand. Then I had the ugi so the first and only thing in my stomach was barium. The Protein shakes have been super gross all day. Waiting for Amazon to deliver my premier shakes which at least taste better. Feeling weak, tired, and hungry :(

Well for what it's worth I've heard the first 3 or 4 days are the toughest and after that the hunger subsides somewhat...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
