Well, First of all i will like to think all my supporters out there would encouraged me to take th ings easy. Since the last time i sent a message i was hosptailized for one day due to dehydration. Oh it was aweful. I was vomiting with the runs at the same time. I got totaly behind on fluids but and feeling much better now. Now all i have to do is to remember to drink. I start to feel a little weak during the day if i haven't drink something like broth or cream of Soup. Im still really tired but am feeling much better than i did last week. And to put icing on the cake.....

I lost my first 10lbs. YAY!!! Now im ready for things to get back to normal so i can enjoy all these beautiful days.

Love u each. Sheena

So glad that you are feeling better. I carry a bottle of Water or Protein Shake with me everywhere I go! The bariatric nurse at my hospital told me that dehydration is the number 1 complication. Take care and bottoms up!

So glad you are feeling better! Some on this board report that they set their phone alarm to remind them to drink Water. That might be something to try for a couple of days. I know that I can get so involved with things that I forget to drink for an hour or two.

      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.
