Yeah. Well made it through the first day of the final three. I emailed w the patient coordinator and she said that if you cheat on the three day cleanse, the Dr will be able to tell when he or she opens you up. Is this true?

What kind of meds do they give you in the hospital.

@stickks she Is probably referring to the size of the liver and that has more to do with the pre op diet not the last 3 day cleanse. Actually since they are not opening up the intestines there is no way to tell, but this Dr has his reasons for making you do the 3 day cleanse. Not sure what that is cause some doc's don't require it. Really I think it is just the doc's preference.

We were in the hospital 2 nights. Very nice. Brush up on your spanish though. Nurses speak very little english. Im doing well, just some bloating from the surgery, and soreness. Havent been able to drink more than a few sips of Gatorade at a time without feeling full. I guess that is a good thing. We are staying two nights at the hotel, then flying back Sunday.

      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.
