Yea, I haven't told anyone either. Only my family knows. I tried to do sleeve a cpl of yrs ago and everyone had an opinion. I told my boss I was having surgery, but didn't tell him what kind. He's the biggest gossip in the office, smh. So I told him I'm taking 2wks and will return in October

Wow, I'm glad I posted my date in the title! Alot of us will be having surgery on the same day. We should try to check in with each other :) I've been overweight since I was 2 yrs old, lol. I can't wait to shop in the "other" section of the store or order cute clothes online and not worry about it fitting right or hiding my rolls, lol

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well I'm on 2 shakes a day before and after surgery, and costco had a sale on my shakes I paid a little over a dollar each. I have a baby food maker that I found on Craigslist for a whopping $10. It steams and purees to make different consistency. I got some mashed potatoes, just add Water, my nutritionist warned me about not feeling up to do alot after surgery, so I tried to shop for before and after. I have some canned chicken not too excited to try for after surgery. I won't have much help after surgery so I'm trying to prepare as much now. I also have a baby container with ozs on it so I can drink my 1oz evert 15mins. The Powerade is for after. I also got 2 boxes of gas x when I coupons now I have to sort thru my clothes and find sweatpants for my recovery.

Premier Protein shakes, 30g of Protein, 1g sugar and 160cal. I'm in Capitol Heights, MD. Very close to Washington, DC. Oh I forgot to mention the Baritastic App. It literally has everything we need. It has Water, pill, food reminders and timers. It has a journal, weight log, food log and exercise log. And it connects with my fitbit

Your closet looked like mine and I hope you use everything because I certainly did not. I bought so many different Proteins, $$$$$$$$$ and other products recommended that I just didn't use, grrrrr. I only use premiere Protein and GENEPRO powder that I did stick up on.

      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.
