I feel even better today. I am finding it a bit difficult to drink my liquids. You don't realize how much air you swallow with every sip until you don't really have a stomach. I can't imagine how hard it's going to be once I'm able to eat soft foods next week. lol Any tips?

I haven't been hungry one time and I'm completely shocked about that. One of the nurses pre-surgery told me she's had many patients call her and say they can't do it because they're so hungry. I do get concerned that I don't really let myself get full, but I'm never hungry. So I don't really know what's in store for me next week. Anybody else feel that? I told the PA that the other day and she told me that I'm way over thinking it and I don't even know what full is yet.

As far as movement, I'm getting tons of walking in. I'm going to the park and walking a couple laps around a pond 2x a day. I don't know if it's too much, but the Dr said the best thing to do is walk as much as I can, and get my 60+ oz of fluids in per day.

      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.
