Hello everyone,

I started my ProCare Bariatric chewable dietary supplement this morning. It's once daily. I have been taking 3 huge capsules daily. My NUT suggested I try the chewable. My taste bugs gave their opinion, disgusting. Thankfully I only have a months supply. I can't imagine trying to get one of these things down my throat after surgery. What are you using?

Have you tried the zucchini noodles? Do you like them? Is purchasing one of the gadgets worth it? I have a really small kitchen that is already full. Lol

OK guys you may want to end here. Next is bras ;)

I don't remember seeing the topic about how quickly your bra size changed? I'm a 42 C. I purchase good quality bras. I get sticker shock every year when I buy replacements. I'm just wondering what you experienced? I was a 32 B back in the day. Bob's got bigger as I got bigger.

Oh and I weighed in this morning at 226 :) I have a nutritionist and psychologist phone appointments in November. If I get the clearance from them I'll have my surgery early December. Surgery goal weight required is 227. I'm getting closer :)

I take Bariatric Advantage not perfect in taste but more imporant they don't make me sick. Your taste buds will change after surgery so don't buy too much of anything.

As far as bras I had to buy at 3 months, 5 months and 7 months. I was also a 32B back in tbe day, A 42D at my biggest, now a 36D and I basically roll what I have left and stuff em in, lol. Just try to find your bras on sale and don't buy a bunch because you will only wear a short time

      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.
