It's a laxative... Bowel prep... And it's killing me.

I didn't have to do that for my sleeve surgery. I did have to do a bowel prep when I had an ovary removed...depends on the surgeon, as with most advice.

Shelly, I feel for you on that stuff!! As I've said before, I used to have to give it to inmates at my last job. Some of them decided that the mag cit was SO bad, they'd rather be constipated!

Blech, I feel your pain! I had to do the bowel prep for my colonoscopy. It was the worst part of a procedure that involved putting camera in my keester! I hope you have personal wipes or pain relief Neosporin. Take care and good luck with your surgery.

      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.
