Please Excuse My Dumb Question...

Looks like pppb scared everyone away.

Don't blame me. I am just a Southern girl waiting to see where in the world life takes me.

I love my family, my friends, pink dresses and peach half sweet tea, and shopping and playing on this forum..

Lets see. Princesses need dragons to keep the mean peasants away, the dragons use the daggers for defence and we all know the princess has pretty nails.

Does that answer your question.

I start my pre-op liquid diet in a week. Wondering how in the HELL I'm gonna get thru it? Uuuggh!

you are gonna get through like me and so many others did

one day at a time.....and just taking it slow....this is a mental

game..you must focus on the goal at hand (not the pre op even

though that is all you are thinking about)..

with me, i had to do 20 days all liquid before surgery and thought i'd never do it...

i truly did......but i wanted this to help save my life that i just did it..i took the bulls

tail and held on for dear life....

hub told me once when i was complaining, you wanted this surgery so do what you

have to do in order to get it. YOU can do this if you want....you can..you just need to believe in yourself. i believe in you.

Oh, I have been there and it BLOWS!!!!

First, how big were the bites? Even if I chew, chew, chew... if I take too big of a bite (even an inch size) I have that issue. Also, I really have to wait in between bites. Sometimes I wait too long to eat and am hungry so I chew and chew and grab the next bite without waiting and wham!

Also, I know a lot of people seem to have allergies in full swing this time of year and I have heard some mention that the drainage, extra fluids, etc. make their band tighter. Not sure if that may be part of why you are having more issues now.

Good luck and have a fun-filled liquid day!

      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.
