Went to my 1 week post op today! I've lost about 6 pounds and have been cleared for the full liquid diet! I also had to drive myself there so I guess I'm cleared to drive. Still trying to take it easy and not overdo. Easier said than done. Congrats to all the September Sleevers!

Good luck to all the Septembe 14 people! My surgery was at 1:00pm but got a call this evening that I was moved up to the first slot at 7am, so have to be there at 5:30am! Yikes! At least not much time to get nervous!

Well, I'm on day 3 of my Pre-Op diet and I'm so hungry. Been eating the hell out of sugar-free popcicles, Jello and low sodium broth and decaffeinated ice tea. But I'm not going to cheat.

Four more days till my Pre-Op appointment and then 7 more till surgery.

Funny you say that, I am just about to lay down & trying to figure which way to sleep, the hospital bed was so comfortable since I could raise my back up & my feet a lil... Thanks for that info..

Oh crud! You can't sleep on your side after surgery? I'm screwed! If I sleep flat on my back, I wake up with severe back pain!

      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.
