You will do great. Think about how much energy you will have to play with your son.

I can do this for you, let me know if you'd like my email or cell number. I can totally understand this, as I don't have anybody really either. There are two people in my life who care, and I can't really pound this into the ground with them.

I was a gym monkey and weight trained and also know a lot about nutrition. I'll be sleeved on June 16th but they may move my date up.

You've come to the right place. Posting here will get you a loving answer, and honest answer, a gentle reprimand, a push in the right direction... I could go on and on. These last two months would have been near impossible for me without this support board. It is the place I can come where I know ya'll get it. I read all the time here and get notified when new posts are out. I search for questions that may have already been answered. Love this place and I'm confident you will too.

Welcome!

      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.
