If you don't cope with pain very well tell your Dr they will get you meds to help you cope. I am sure no one wants you to suffer . Just remember to take them When I had surgery in the past I was so sleepy I went to bed and when I woke up the meds from the surgery had worn off and my body reminded me very quickly that I had just had surgery I know you will do extremely well nothing to worry about your just take a nap wake up and it's done. good Luck

Thanks I have it on my list. ???Š

My date is July 9th. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. I'm excited about this journey. Afraid of the pain... No pain no gain!

I'm the day after you! Keep on touch!! Fortunately I dont have to do all liquids. Just for two meals.

      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.
