Well Welcome@ Trellunit With your last nutrition appointment coming up on February 2nd I would say you are close to getting a surgical date. Oh it will be a change of life, if it scares you a little, that's perfectly okay, you wouldn't be human without a whim wah or 2. But there are a lot of veterans on here, they will mentor you if you need it. I'll be happy to help too, I am a RnY of 4-and -half months, oh my recovery hasn't been perfect, had a few set- backs , but I don't regret doing it, would never trade today for a stack of yesterdays, they were not That Happy. I will finish up maybe slower than the "youngins". still okay with me, I am IN it to WIN it, and my doctors PROMISE me my temporaries will turn into final victories and I'm claiming it for my own! I am stubborn , redheaded, 73 and a force to contend with. I wear a jelly Bracelet that states" I'M WORTH WAITING FOR", like all of Gods Children I'm here for a while, and my retirement will be Out of This World🌏. So any questions, just ask, we live and love to help others.

      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.
