I wonder why your page says NO slim fast or ensure? Hmmm? So I had to buy food from my Dr's office and a majority of it is disgusting. I've been kinda cheating and drinking an Ensure for Breakfast or lunch the last few days because I just can't tolerate that gross food 3 meals a day. I have researched other diets online and none are as restrictive as the ones they're giving us

Samsung Galaxy S7

How much sugar in Ensure? I drink premier protien. 1 gram sugar and 30 grams protien.

Went to Sam's and picked up some Premier Protein! I've got like 3 different types of Protein powders that I'll be trying out to see what I like best. My doc has me starting my 2 week pre-op on Feb 2. 4 Protein Shakes + 1 lean meat and 2 cups green veg at dinner.< /p>

Driving myself to FL on the 16th for pre-op and surgery is Feb 17th!

I'll be you tubing for encouragement to other "older" women! I'm 50 with two pre-teen boys! I'll post when I get one loaded

Hey haven't you heard fifties are the new thirties? Lol I'm turning 50 in March.

So how are you feeling? I can't decide if I'll be more worried about the food changes or excitement that the procedure is so close!

Im excited as my date is quickly approaching. I'm also physically tired. I expected the tiredness because it's the first day of the preop diet.

Just got my surgery date today! February 20th! It's crazy how some of my friends are happy for me that I got my date. While others who I thought I had their support won't say anything. At least my family is supportive!

I'm also scheduled for February 20th.

      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.
