Glad to know that we are all off to a good start! They just removed my drain and that was the most pain I have felt since! It didn't last long. Up walking, eating Jello and drinking crystal light! I go home shortly. Very impressed with the care I have received!

Anyone can get a drain, it depends on the surgeon. Some see an added benefit on having a drain, some don't agree. It's more a surgeons preference.

...Alcohol is a liquid right? ;-) just kidding!! Find stuff to keep busy and keep your mind off food. A big step (most of us atleast) is getting past our "mental" hunger. Read a book, go for a walk, see a movie, shop for makeup or indulge in a message, etc!

Too funny Ashlee! I don't have a to do a liquid diet, but I am kinda trying to do one anyways..well a little bit. I have a requirement to lose 10% of my weight and I can't seem to keep that last 2 pounds off! I am drinking Water and Protein Shakes for the next few days. I go in on Monday for a check in and I need to be at that weight Monday at 2:30!

      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.
