I am six days today and feeling ok. I think I let myself get very dehydrated and Monday I started paying the price for it. Nauseous and very weak. I have been pushing fluids, well actually my mom and sister have been pushing fluids on me, and I am feeling much better ths morning. I finally feel like this was a good decision again. Man yesterday I was regretting the whole thing! I actually joked with my sister that if I died she had to find a way to bury me in the size eight skinny jean I brought before surgery! I will get in to those jeans somehow!

Whew, glad I am feeling better this morning. I will never understand why dehydration makes you nauseous, seems so counterproductive.

I am also 6 days post surgery and I hear you about the mushies. Yesterday was a bad day for me. I am on 2 bp meds and my bp fell to 79/57 and I was dehydrated. I hadn't had a bm since surgery and finally started the night before, it was diarhea and I think it added tothe dehydration. Ended up at the acute care of my health plan had 2 bags of fluids and had to lay on my back with my feet up to get my bp back up.I have to stop my bp for awhile but monitor it so it doesn't go up too high.

Today all is well, I feel great and counting the days to mushies.Hang in everyone, I see the light at the end of the liquid tunnel and it is bright!

      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.
