Hi everyone! I have absolutely no idea how this app is used but I figured I would give it a try! Finally had my first consult with the surgeon yesterday, so I am at the beginning of the 6 month pre-surgery journey. Anyone else starting right now? Would love some new friends I can go on this journey with!

I just started my 6 months about 2 weeks ago. I have my first nut appointment at the end of February. I have Crohn's disease, colitis, and I'm also lactose intolerant. I had my gallbladder removed 10 years ago, so no worries about that. Yay! I live in Massachusetts and I'm excited for this journey and to join this community! Any suggestions for soy Protein shakes would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I just had my first class on the 27th! My binder class is June 21st with surgery roughly around the second week of July. I fly in for my stuff so now that I'm back home I'm starting to make the changes to my diet to get used to after surgery life. So far we are focusing on not drinking during meals and for 30 mins after, getting in 64 oz a day without chugging, and eating small meals 5-6 times a day that take at least 15 min to eat. :) I would love to have some pals to go thru all this with as I only know one other person who has had this surgery

Hello all! Another newbie here. I had my first meeting with the surgeon on Jan. 20, this week wrapped up my PCP and cardiologist clearance. Tomorrow I have my first group meeting with the dietitian and exercise physiologist, looking forward to getting everything going in that department. I have a 3-month pre-surgery program for my insurance (Cigna), so I am hoping to have surgery in late May or June!

      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.
