Recommended Posts

Just left Target' date=' my store does not have gas-ex strips, grrr[/quote']

I got mine at albertsons but I believe Walmart cvs Walgreens have them. One thing I did forget was the biotene for dry mouth. I have read a lot of sleevers say this came in handy. Don't forget that one.

Week 1- clear liquids:protein shake, sf Jello & popsicles, broth, diet b-8 splash

Week 2 & 3 - full liquids: cream soups(no lumps or bumps), drinkable yogurt, plus stuff from week 1

Week 4- add in mashed potates, cream of wheat, grits, oatmeal

This is just what I can remember off the top of my head.

Pack a extension cord for your phone charger also if you have long hair braid it use a rubberband with no metal or you wake up with your hair in a mat in the back of your head.

Hello Klperry, I know what you mean about the date being close. Just a while ago it was July for me that's when I received my surgery date. I think everything became real last week when I went in for pre op testing.

      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.
