Sending you hugs and prayers for a quick recovery. I see you are moving across country so take it easy after surgery. Stay hydrated and remember to sip and sip often. Walking will help speed up your recovery too. No lifting though. Sip, walk, rest - repeat.

Wow, nothing like eating a elephant whole. Moving and surgery...you are a superwoman. Sipping is critical to keep you hydrated. I recommend room tempature drinks, I drink clear Protein from GNC and G2 gatorade (sugarless). You will need to rest often, walk often and sip every 15 minutes. Small sips...no gulps.

Congrats on upcoming surgery. I am sending you a big hug for Monday. Please keep us updated on how you are doing.

      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.
