Hey ladies...I had GB almost two months ago and have never felt better!!! I've lost 40 pounds already and it's been absolutely amazing not living life full golf guilt, shame, and obsession over my next meal.

If you're worried about what may happen when you do it, reroute your thoughts to what will inevitably happen if you don't. Complications result usually in those who are much much older AND do not follow the meal plan. Stay hydrated, eat as instructed, and you'll be more than fine.

Do not worry!!! Be excited...your lives are truly about to change in ways I forgot I had forgotten about...

Hi Shaunie! I am so sorry you are having sinus issues!! I would say up your Vitamin C and maybe take Emergen C but, mu surgeon and hospital stated no Vitamins 2 weeks before surgery. Are you taking anything for it?

Pre op is going good!! Migraine was intense in the beginning and I guess never got better because the sinuses kicked in. I found it easier in the beginning probably because you tend to get sick of the Protein Shakes but hanging in there. I've lost 12lbs :-D

      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.
