Hey Cloe,

It was nice to see you check in with the May Bandsters!

To answer your question, I was on Claritin before my Surgery and my surgeon didn't have any problems with it. I switched to liquid Zyrtec because the Claritin pill was huge and couldn't be crushed. That would be my only concern about taking Claritin. I am not sure if I could get a pill that big down even now.

The funny thing is that after losing about 30 pounds I no longer need to take any allergy meds. Weird!

Thanks for your help guys!! I think my allergys are the reason I'm kinda stuck. Last week I was debating on getting my rings sized smaller, this week I'm so puffed up I can barely get them off. I think that is some kind of Water rention? I'm hoping the meds will help. Thanks again guys!! :scalesno:

      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.
