@slimthickens, I have Tazo Organic Spicy Ginger Caffeine Free tea. It has a little bite to it when fully steeped, but don't be deterred by "spicy" in the name. To avoid overdoing it this early, I only let it steep for a minute or so.

I am going to have to add this to my shopping list of things to pick up tonight to take with me. Hopefully I can find it in one of the stores here. I'm not usually a big ginger fan, so hoping I like it. Go in tomorrow morning, 7am surgery time, Less than 24 hours and nerves are kicking in. Can anyone recommend any last minute questions to ask the surgeon?

Well hopefully once you get the new blood in you, you will be feeling back to normal & will be released and can recover in comfort at home! I'll keep you in my thoughts.

I had an Insision that wouldn't stayed closed and was gushing blood. Had to change gown 5 times. Blood was everywhere! The dr stitched it and is better but hgb still dropped to 6.9. A pain but will give me energy in the next few weeks.

      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.
