Hey girlie! Glad to see that you are feeling better. I am 2.5 weeks out and just now able to take a couple of satsfying gulps. Thought I would only be able to sip forever.

Yay! Yeah, I've been surprised, but thats been the most upsetting part to me. I haven't eaten in a week and generally thats okay, but would kill for a GIANT drink of water!

Thanks all

Anna, I promise it will be soon. You were a little slower starting out of the gate with the fluids. On Day 5 I was getting 64oz a day which meant drinking constantly. You'll have your satisfying gulps before you know it.

Congrats on making it this far. I'm really glad to read that you're doing ok.

Anna,

I loved popcicles at that stage! Was easier than ice cubes/chips and really helped with the thirst issue. I am drinking decently now, if fact there are times I have to remind myself that I can't drink the entire glass at once : )

      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.
