I’m doing okay right now. Day for and I’m finding it hard to drink the last Protein Shake of the day. I got the Baritastic app. It’s pretty helpful with timing and reminders

I'm scheduled for surgery January 23rd. Im on day 3 of my pre op diet which consists of 3 Protein Shakes, one meal, and unlimited liquids. I've been doing really good with it so far. The reality of the actual surgery hasn't hit me yet, it's like I'm just changing my life and walking into the unknown.

Looks like a lot of you have Valentine week,as your surgery date, would,have liked mine then but I think I'll be more like St Patrick's Day, if they moved forward this coming week that's how far ahead they are booking. Dang it ,I'm an impatient puddycat, feel like I've been waiting forever for this date with destiny. And my BBF (that's Bariatric Friend Forever) has been jerked around even longer, gone from November to,possible March/April, she may moult or be down to pinfeathers before it happens. Not fair to happen to a fine feathered fowl like her.!!

Same here!! I have the same date for bypass. Where are you getting it done? I’m so worried for my final weigh in next week bc I know I gained like 7 lbs since my previous weigh in in September.

Yes!! Let’s help each other thru this ! I would def like to keep in touch as we go thru the diff phases. I went to see my surgeon today and we went over my pre-op bloodwork etc ... happy to say everything is fine :) I go Friday for an educational class and then I’m ready for surgery day I am sticking to a low carb/high Protein diet for the next couple of weeks ( I’m going to have one “last supper”) and then I need to do a liquid diet 3 days prior to the surgery (which is the Super Bowl 😞) But that’s ok ! I’m excited to get started ! Do you need to do any special diet prior to the surgery ? What Protein Shakes will you be using ?

We should all meet up for a broth party after surgery lol. I’m having surgery in Mexico as my insurance doesn’t cover the surgery. I will be on a 10 day pre-op diet liquid starting on the 28th. I’ve already started cutting carbs and caffeine in preparation. I’ve been on Weight Watchers which is high Protein. I’ve lost 30 pounds on Weight Watchers but soooooo ready to have surgery and stop the yo-yo dieting.

      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.
