Youre not suppose to have ANY liquids after midnight on Sunday. But during the day you can have the Clear Liquids. I had Jello all day. Ill be a week post op on monday...but be prepared to not have ANY Water after your surgery. They wont let you drink anything until you've.had an.upper gi to test for openings ...also the drink they make you take three times taste so nasty....bearable...but nasty....they'll probably offer you lemon swabs for your dry mouth....TAKE IT. You wont regret that....it really helps..

I had mine on Monday the 18th too!

June 1st. It's been a rocky road since and I'm hoping and praying it gets better. :)

I'll say a prayer for you as well! I was very overwhelmed yesterday, but I felt better this morning. I think that things will get a little better each day...

Good luck!

Good luck GIJane, and Little bits every day is a little different than the day before that's for darn sure. Keeping you in my prayers. Each day does get a little easier.

I am actually very tired out today and probably more sore today than I have been in a few days. Wednesday can't seem to get here fast enough because I have questions for the surgeon, and I'm really hoping to advance to pureed food. I really am praying they don't make me wait another two weeks. It's not that I'm hungry, it's that I want to get more Protein in and the shakes are not cutting it for me still.

June 29th. Mt. Sinai in NYC.

Prayers are very welcome. I'm scared of the irreversible changes coming.

Prayers are coming your way. I am the day before you. I am scared to, BUT I am scared more of living the rest of my life dealing with obesity. I think we will be fine!

Hey Juners,

How many calories are you taking in each day? The first week I was about 300 and now I have moved up to 500+ during week two. Is this too much?

      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.
