I'm doing good! Getting hungry but today I finally got 35 grams of Protein soooo happy! I'm going to eat some Jello and more protein, hoping this is quick. Saturday I start my mushy foods finally!

No longer using pain meds only at night to sleep.< /p>

I do feel like band is up in my chest so when I feel tight I inhale and exhale. It helps

It actually went better than I thought it would go. Just have extreme cotton mouth and sore throat when the pain mess wear off. Other than that I'm fighting the gas, I'm walkin 10-15 min every few hours then whenever I get up I walk around the house about 5 min. It's working!

      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.
