Welcome @weirdlittlefox . Best of luck on your surgery and a speedy recovery. Gotta say this forum is great all around... Support, concerns, both positive and negative post op experiences. A whole lot of information. Don't have so much to offer myself as I'm still pre op but have taken in a lot. Like you FB is not something I had ever joined until recently and really don't use it at all. I'm sure you'll like it here just fine.

@weirdlittlefox reach out to my bari-pal @Taoz for sustaining and advice if you like. She recently had a sleeve so is now a veteran and is also Australian. She can give you diet advice, knows what products and chemists are available, and will become the good chum to,you that she has become for me. There are also a couple people,in Canberra that come to mind. Lets see ther3care some active from Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania , and a very vocal group from New South Wales. Odd to me but recently,I've seen more Aussies than Canadians, my ❤ is world-wide, l enjoy making new bariatric friends . We all are engaged in this weight struggle no matter where we came from, I enjoy everyone's viewpoint. Just recently heard from someone in Singapore. Oh and I am not going to be a VSG but a RnY bypass, doesn't matter, I reach out to everyone. I liken it to the difference between Army and Navy, we are all allies in this grand weight war. It's 8 AM here which means it's 8 PM. down under , hope you had a beaut of a day!

      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.
