The Atkins sure did work for me, but every Doc is different.....I forget, where in SC are U and who is your Doc? Nosey, Nosey! All of the shakes on BariacticEating.com are yummy and very hi protien and almost 0 carbs.....Have U tried those?

Hey! I just had mine done on the 5th. Besides feeling full of gas and being hungry already, I guess I'm fine. How about you?

Hi Gang,

Yes, I just had my surgery on Sept 3rd..... So far so good. I haven't had

any complications such as nausea or vomiting... I'm not really feeling hunger pains too bad. But I seem to be able to drink as much as I like.

I don't know if that's normal or what ? I hate the shakes... trying to drink them as needed but it's a chore... Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

MartiXLardy:confused:

What kinda shakes are you drinking? I am drinking the Carnation Instant Breakfast for the carb conscious with skim milk. It's pretty tasty.

      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.
