March 27th surgery date! Anyone else excited about being on liquid for Easter?



Recommended Posts

Yes, No chocolate on Easter, unless it is in the form of a shake:omg:. I am hoping that all this time I have waited for this make it easier. It still seems far off, so the my current biggest worry is the 2-week liquid diet. Any recommend a specific shake for flavor, and do they all have to be sweet?

Im over on the other thread.

My sister lives in Kansas City, MO. Lovely state.

If you look over on the food boards there are threads on Protein Drinks and the like. So far the big winners are Unjury (unjury.com) and Body Fortress vanilla (Walmart). Muscle milk light for pre opt. I just ordered a few different types(from the web) to give them a try before I buy the quantity I will be needing. Unjury has a unflavored Protein Powder that can be added to any liquid as long as it is not heated past 130*. So think savory soups!

Good luck and Welcome.

Hi, I am scheduled with Dr. Malley for March 27th as well. It will be performed at Menorah Medical. BUT. I am looking for another option to see if I can get the surgery done sooner through another surgeon. I will go to his seminar on Jan. 2nd then have a consult within a couple of days. He is scheduling surgeries in February. So we'll see what happens.

      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.
