I am on Tuesday as well. I don't have to do clears until tomorrow, but have been on a 2-week pre-op diet (sorta). I will be at the hospital at 8:30 so it looks like we are right around the same time. Good luck, God speed, and see ya on the other side (the losing side that is!). May your surgery be successful, May your recovery be painless, and May your weight loss be all that you hope it will be! Hugs!

Call your doctor, or go to the ER. You need to get all your Protein in. And, you need to have all your liquids to stay hydrated.

Are you on a PPI? That would stop any acid reflux. Also, hopefully you haven't been eating food yet......what have you been surviving on in the last five days?

      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.
