I'm going in tomorrow for a check-up/possible fill. My appointment is for 5:00 maybe I'll see a couple of you there. I think (crossing fingers) that I will be down a couple this time. Oh how I hope so! I'm booked to be in with one of the Doc's this time as I haven't seen either of them in quite some time.

Hi Folks, New guy in the house!!

Just had my dietitian appt @ Maple and I have the shrink this Friday. My op is scheduled for the 8th of Dec, and I can't wait to get on with it. OK, the 600-700 cal/day crash diet is going to be a bit hard, but I'm psyched. Then again, keep checking this forum and talk to me again in three weeks time (I wonder what font signifies ripping someone's head off?).:w00t:

Glad to be here and off we go!!

WoHoo!! 1 week of the !@#$%& pre-op diet done, and down 13 lbs already! I feel like a supermodel a week before Milan!!

So far I haven't really had any problems following the diet, work is a great distraction. The only two issues I've noticed are that my energy crashes around 9 pm and that I'm extremely gassy. The former is probably normal as 600 cals/day isn't a lot of energy, but anyone have the gas issue?

2 weeks to go!!:thumbup:

Cheers,

Boomboy

Congrats on surviving week one! As for gas issues.. not some much gas, however I did notice that my bm's were not what the used to be. Guess lack of actual food will do that to a person.

Hello Everyone,

I'm brand new here. Danielle just told me about this forum yesterday! I love the fact there is a group here where everyone understands what your going through!

So far 3 days in on the pre-op diet...WOW...I think my energy crashes shortly after work! But I'll be happy once its over and I can have something other than the shakes/bars yuck!

Anyway my surgery is Dec 8. And I'm looking forward to it!

All the best everyone!:thumbup:

Welcome!!

Another 8 Dec person... Mine is then also. Don't know the time yet.

I know what you mean about the shakes... But I find that if I use them with about 500ml instead of the stated 300ml of Water, they don't taste half bad...

Looking forward to seeing you around the forum...

Cheers,

Day 9 of 20 days, 18 lbs down...

Thanks for the tip. I don't have my time yet either!

I definitely think the shakes taste better than they smell! Its been quite an adjustment, I hopped on the scale and noticed I'm down almost 5lbs since Tuesday.

Anyway see you around! :thumbup:

      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.
