I'm going very slow with fluids. I'm trying liquid Lortab and it took me an hour to get 15 cc in. I just hope it stays down. I'm in no rush to,leave the hospital. I want to be sure I can orally hydrate .

Thanks everyone for your kind words and prayers.

I don't know myself yet since I'm pre surgery, but I believe the mantra for right now is sip, walk, rest.

I'v ebeen following your posts and I want to say how proud of you I am. You've done good!

Congratulations! Welcome to the beginning of your new life!

Glad to hear you are doing well!!!! The first two or three days were the hardest for me but things got better daily. They especially turn around right around day 5 o 6. Best of luck with your healing. Looking forward to hearing more about how you're doing!!!!

Hey Whodat!!! I'm so pleased for you. Did you end up going with the surgeons in Mississippi? Glad you're doing okay, and you're smart not to rush anything. :-)

      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.
