Welcome! i am scheduled for July 5th. i am new to this support group and looking for a few people to keep in touch with that are starting around the same time that I am. I feel that going through it with someone that is also going through it, may make it a bit easier as far as support goes. How are you doing with preparations?

Good morning!

So far, I have just watched YouTube videos of people's week by week progress, some post op on what to take to the hospital, and what to expect the first couple weeks. Doin it in Mexico, I don't have the siminarz to go to, or a doctor to ask questions. I have quiet a few clients who've had it done, and so I'm kinda just gathering info right now. Are you excited? Anxious?

I spent the day yesterday with an 80 yr old health food nut, and I'll tell ya, the drink she made for me was some kind of scary, not something I could see myself doing on a long term deal. How are you gettin ready for the big day?

@@2tired2befat sorry for the delayed response. My notifications don't seem to be coming through.

I never thought about watching some videos on youtube, what a good idea. I have been to seminars many year ago but because I am paying out of pocket, the requirements are not there for me. I am getting very excited about my surgery. In some ways it has been a 7 year dream that is finally coming true.

I have started trying to get all the enentials for the puree section of the first couple weeks.i want to make sure that mentally I am ready and that I have all the supplies.

Have you gotten all your supplies yet? How long will you be in Mexico recovering?

Feel free to private message me too. I'd love to get to know you more and become support buddies since we are so close in surgery dates!

@@PRINCESS2218 funny thing, my surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet stage. Just 2 weeks of low carb.

How are you doing in your preparations for surgery?

Did you have to take classes?

I understand that feeling completely. I hit a point in the scale where I felt if I weighed one more pound i would just bust into tears. What is your starting weight?

That is too funny. I hate grocery shopping. It is my least favorite chore. If I could buy all my produce and cold foods online I would. Haha. I did just recently order my Vitamins and Protein powder.

I ordered two different one for now. I love coffee, like can't live without it so I got the Chike coffee flavored. Figured I could get my Protein and my coffee. And the I ordered the unflavored Isopure. I love it because I can really out it in anything and it doesn't taste like it is there. So when I have a Protein shake i just put a few berries in a blender with a little milk and it is delish.

Is there a certain kind of.protein powder that you like?

I have a hard time with finding bars and shakes I like because I do not really like chocolate all that much.

      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.
