Yeah, we that happen to one of our babies too. She's still getting physical therapy and walks like a drunken sailor. But, the joy of doxies is that practically nothing breaks their spirit! She's still as fun and spunky as ever. A wirehair!! I fostered one once. So rambunctious! We call them the clown dog of doxies!

How are you feeling today? Getting more liquid in?

Haha she is a complete clown!! Best way to describe her.

I'm doing better with the fluids. Still hard but I'm definitely not hungry. 6kg down!

My main source (really, only source) of pain is my left wrist with two failed canulla's. So much so, that I was on the phone for half an hour with the 24 hour GP. Bruising is spreading and the ache is constant. Going to the docs tomorrow.

Ouch!!!!

My suggestion for fluids is to go the the store and buy a variety of liquids & frozen popsicals. Be careful w the sugar. You will eventually lose weight, so dont concentrate on really healthy things. You can end up in the hospital for dehyrdation pretty darn quickly.

Try things like carb free fudgesicals by breyers. Or fruit juices mixed w Water. Or broths. You need to find something you can keep down.

Good luck today! Hope its a better 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.
