Wow Vickie, I can't believe I missed this thread! I'm so glad you are feeling better. "trying too hard to get back to normal and over drank" is a chapter from my book. I'm sorry I wasn't here for you! You did so good!!! Hang in there. Slow slow slow. You won't keel over from sipping slow. You WILL be miserable if you don't. Sounds like you got it under control! Thanks for the update. Blissful sleep to you!!!!

I'm so happy to hear you are doing better. I know about the "stubborn gene." I'll be all over a family member to call the Dr., but ignore myself. I'm going to remember this thread for a long time.

So glad to hear you got help and are on the mend. :biggrin1: I'm sure this was a scary thing for you. What kind of pain meds were you on? Did you have any other symptoms other than the bloating and nausea? Just want to be prepared myself. I'm sure you've helped a lot of people without even knowing it. :success1: Take care and here's to a good nights sleep. :)

Hi Vickie! I'm very very glad to hear that you went in and saw the Dr about this, and I'm even more glad to hear that you're feeling better. I told ya you'd be ok. *winks*

Vicky, I'm so glad you're doing better!

I ditto what Stitchy & 3Loves said above about remembering this post and your helping other people. My surgery is 3 weeks away, and as much as I hate that you went through this, I'm sure to keep it in mind if I have any issues post-op.

Hang in there; you're on the mend now and will be better than new in no time! God Bless!

:kiss Thanks PhotoNut You did indeed tell me I'd be okay. That gave me just the feeling I needed for that day, and lots of other support thereafter. I was so grateful you were there immediately, just at the moment I needed some push. Wanted to let you know personally.

      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.
