Recommended Posts

Hey all! @november11 thanks for adding me to the calendar!

@MeredithElaine you're my 6th buddy! I was a smoker too but I'm old so I smoked for 30 years! I quit 7 months ago. Surgeon said I had to be off nicotine for 3 months to even be considered for surgery so I did it (with Chantix help). I'm the last one who ever thought I would be able to quit and I think that's as big a win as getting the surgery!

I'm on day 1 of 7 of my pre op all liquid diet. I'm very grumpy is all I can say. I'm going to bed now and try to sleep this week away. My best friend is my support person but I haven't really told anyone else. I really needed to see I'm not alone so I'm so glad to be here!

      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.
