Starting a new Journey

I started about a month ago and just had my second appt with the surgeon. I am learning so much about things I never knew about diabetes and managing my sugar. I have lost 4 lbs with adding Protein to my diet. This month I will work on flipping my eating schedule so I eat my largest meal (not that large😏) at Breakfast and not dinner and drinking more Water. Any good tips on high Protein Breakfast options in addition to the shake that I can take on the run?

Wow! That’s awesome! My NP just told me to start replacing one meal a day with a Protein Shake. Hmm I’m not for sure yet but I can start looking stuff up 😁

I have my endoscopy in about 20 minutes. My surgeon schedules this early on in the process but I’ve heard of some people getting theirs days before their surgery. What does your surgeon recommend?

My egd won’t be schedule until after my cardio clearance and that appt is in June so probably won’t be until August when I have that done

Thanks!!! I have been trying different brands and flavors in the premade containers to figure out what I like before investing in the powder. They are kind of expensive and I am told to try Sams Club to buy a case. So far I like the Muscle Milk in chocolate and my favorite is Premier Carmel. I did not care for banana Bariateic Advantage. Many offices will give samples. 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.
