hi!! my surgery is friday and im very excited...not nervous yet....prob will be by thur night! lol

.....going shopping tomorrow for post op things....i finally found gasx strips in Walmart, after looking everywhere else for weeks! so,stocked up on those....on my list: Tomato Soup, Protein shakes of course,chicken broth, yogurt,diet v8 splash,sugar free hot chocolate...my only worry(besides the gas),is that i'll be starving...even though i've done well on my 10 days of liquids, i would kill for a burger or a slice of pizza!! lol

my paperwork from the surgeon actually says to avoid tv for the first 10 days after surgery,because of the large number of food commercials!!

good luck to you!!!!

Hi my surgery is Thursday. Getting very excited but more and more nervous. I have all my Clear Liquids, gas x strips and liquid Tylenol. I have to work all day tomorrow but then I have to pack a small bag for the hospital and get laundry and any heavy lifting out of the way. It seems like just yesterday I had an entire week to go now just one more day wow I still can't believe it.

      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.
