I'm getting nervous and not sleeping lately. I am doing okay on my pre-op diet. I may try frozen Jello too.

I'm having the same problem! Don't sleep very good and I'm completely emotional! And, every time my husband and kids cook something, the smell makes it feel like my big guts are eating my little guts! Lol!

I can't believe that this time next week my gastric bypass surgery will be done. I was very happy to hear today that my son will fly to Mexico to support me during my recovery time. I wish I could leave today. The diet has been a lot easier than I anticipated. I am not really that hungry and I don't have any cravings. I am sure that they will be back after I have recovered from my surgery. I have lost about 5 to 7 pounds during my first week. Not quite sure, because I didn't jump on the scale until about 2 days of dieting. Regardless I am happy with that. I have 110 pounds to lose and it is not going to happen overnight. Has anyone already had their surgery this month? I would love to know how you are doing.

Yes I'm on day 2 of 4x Boost high Protein and I'm allowed 1 small cup of Greek yogurt a day

I'm on day 5 and at a college football game. It's tough today, honestly. I get 3x Protein Drinks + sf Jello, popsicles and Water. Lots and lots of water. The 12th needs to get here quicker

Hi September Bypass Buddies,
I would like to know how many of you are doing the Sleeve versus the Bypass? I am a bypass on 9/11.
Cheers,

      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.
