Thanks- so muh better today- I am on a preop diet that has 2 protien shakes a day, a protien bar, a piece of fruit, 4 OZ of lean meat, 2 servings of veggies an two starches per day. I brought some carrots with me today, so when i started gettng hungry I ate some of those- i also have an orange in my lunchbox to eat if I need too. This will ultimately make my dinner smaller, but I think I will be OK. I also get as muh sugar free Jello and popsicles as I want. I think I will stop at the store and pick up some of those just incase I need a little more before I go to bed tonight. But overall feeling much better right now than I was yesterday at this time!

ANewMe that's funny about sleeping, someone at my nutrition class asked if they could take a Tylenol pm and go to bed early every day of the pre-op diet! Lol

Creekwood you are right pre-op STINKS but I am doing great on it. I go to bed at 8:30pm because I can not stand to be in the same room with my self so I do not want to put crap on my wonderful husband and child. I am happy they understand. They have not even ask me to cook for them they are doing it! I am blessed to have them both!

Honestly one of the girls I work with had a real bad time at first (can't help thinking it was partially on her but..) she was back in the hospital shortly after she got the band for 5 or more days for not being able to hold anything down and fevers

She is fine now thankfully :)

Also reading on here is seems ports tipping is far more common than they made it seem.

...and I'm not sure if its considered cheating on the preop because I wasn't planned but I was making dinner and ate about three spoon fulls of Pasta before thinking "oh crap no no no" and stopping... So I'm a slight bit worried that will mess it up for the preop.. I'm calling my doctor today about it but overall I'm a worrier so my worrying is completely normal

      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.
