Tammy: Thank you so much. The main thing i can tell you is just enjoy your new life and do remeber to chew chew chew. I stay away from chicken with skin on it because it is easy to get stuck. The exercise i do is play baasketball, walk , and my treadmill. I'm manily doing the treadmil because here in Texas the summer's are extremely hot. You are doing great also. I eat alot of oatmeal in the a.m. and for lunch youqurt and wheat thins, some meat but only the size odf a deck of cards. I do eat alot of vegetables. I stay away from any fried foods. I wish you all the luck in the world just stay focus and you will do great. Also i go into the chat roomanytime you want to chat just give me a message i will be glad to chat with you anytime. Judy

      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.
