I didn't like that one I got the boost chocolate and I got the Protein bars with the peanut in them and sugar free popsicle and Crystal light my insurance paid for the boost I brought my protein bars from Drug mart or try Sam club WALLMART that always have them on sale that Optifast my Sis: in Christ said she did not like it or Protein Bars so she switch to the boost like me. When I got Hungry I prayed. I would eat a protein bar in morning that help me. I had the sleeve on 11-17-16. My starting weight was 260. My weight now is 198.

I made out of list of pros and cons to having the surgery LOL.....Every time I think I can't go through with this I get my list out to read. It also helps to come on here to read the success stories. I get all pumped up again and but then all it takes is one negative success story or someone wishing they'd never done it and then I'm back to second guessing my decision. I just have to keep tellng myself there are a whole lot more success stories than failures....or at leats what I can tell from this board.

      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.
