OMG, so I have to tell you a funny story! After creating the roster for this board I noticed that Claudine was in the same town, Raleigh, NC. Turns out, she lives less than 2 miles away. We haven't met yet...but sure will soon. Anyhow, I have ordered just gobs of Protein samples. I had some duplicates and some that I am not willing to try at all (I have a thing about orange-flavored stuff.) I bagged up a few of these and put it on the porch for Claudine to swing by to pick up sometime. Some of these were sealed in little heat seal baggie-type things.

Here's the fun part!

So, this morning I actually opened my front door. We go in and out a side door usually. Strewn ALL over the porch is Protein powder! There was chocolate, banana, vanilla. Probably about 4 different kinds from the mix of colors that were there. Seems the squirrels decided to give the stuff a try :biggrin:

I don't think they liked it because they only bit the corners off of the packages instead of tearing them to shreds to get every last morsel. Oh well...I guess they figured that since they didn't have any Crystal Light the stuff just wasn't worth it. :biggrin: Let's see if they can get the pull tape off of the Low Carb Slim Fast!!!

OMG. Reading these posts it just clicked to me that it is finally August. Then my heart jumped. That makes this surgery even more real to me. Before it was 6 weeks away, now its 3!!! My liquid diet starts in 2 weeks.

      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.
