That is awesome that you have done so great on your pre op diet! I know what you mean about anxiety. I had half a day of pre op testing today and it kind of ramped up my anxiety, as well. Hang in there...it will all be worth it!! :)

For after surgery you will want a heating pad or bean bag to help release the co2 they put in your belly cavity. You want gas x, stool softener or milk of magnesia. Pain meds stop you up pretty badly. liquid Tylenol for the pain, because after a few days you will be glad to get off the nauseating pain meds. Liquid versions of any meds you take (optional), something to hug and press against your belly for when you need to cough or get up and down. Those are my best suggestions!

      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.
