It's a nice feeling not to feel envy --but to feel happiness!!-- for others who are further along in their journey -- if only by a few days... On the day I'll be heading to the hospital (Wed 6-13-2018), I have to drink some ominous-looking drink called pre-Surgery ENSURE clear nutrition drink. "Arctic Chill" no less.

@iwanttoseemytoes. Hoping you see your toes and that you reach all of your goals.

Well what I know about Arctic Chill PreSurgery drink, yeah strange what I do know, it is clear, contains 50mg of complex carbohydrates derivied from corn maltodexrin,has Zinc and selenium in it. Odd way back in the olden days when I first studied chemistry all they thought was selenium turned glass a pretty red color. Now we know it has value in our diet.
Article Chill clear is easier on b your presurg tummy, helps with insulin resistance and your post surg recovery. And Abbott Labs, the nice folks that brewed up this concoction has their offices in Columbus Ohio, close to to where I live. 🍶
Best wishes, prayers and hopes for a beautiful future the13th and onward through your life😝

      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.
