I've had that Magnesium citrate, tastes like a slightly more tangy barium swallow. Yuck.

Dr Roberts ? I've really LOVED the whole staff at his office! Today is day 5 and each day I'm less sore. Although I'll be honest getting the Protein Water in has be EXTREMELY hard it's so tart tasting that it hurts when it goes down. But like I said it's getting easier everyday to drink more and more water tomorrow I get to start back on my Vitamins and Protein Shakes so I think that will really help me with not feeling so weak.!! Keep me posted on when your surgery day is !!

Hi girls. I too am having the DS on the 5th of June 2017 and super excited! I have to admit I'm a little scared of the DS. I know several people personally who have had the RNY and sleeve but I know Noone who has had the DS. How is it going? Any complications? Going to share a little much now... since having my gall bladder removed several years ago I do not have a solid bm and I have heard that with the DS this is extremely worse.... I really don't want to have to use depends forever......have you heard or experienced this??

      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.
