Sounds great, so since we live in the same area and have the same Dr. with our sleeves being 1 week apart, that's unique.

Your'e not far off from starting your 2 week pre-op, how are you dealing with that? I am starting that phase in a few weeks and coping with it OK for now, but when the day comes I will be ready. Psychology plays a huge role I am finding out in this new journey.

I just read the top post and sees here are 3 of us, how is everyone posting dealing with 2 week pre-op?

Preparing for surgery in September. Would love to have a buddy for support. Would love thoughts from group on good Protein Shakes, Vitamin choices, recipes. Would appreciate advice from group on pre and post surgery preparedness.


My surgeon suggested BariatricFusion Protein shakes. There are several flavors including a variety pack, which is helpful. I found the chicken Soup flavor to be WAY to salty and could not handle that! I love the Cappuccino flavor! Loaded with essential Vitamins and minerals! Good luck!

      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.
