Wow, that's great. I'm usually tired now too I was told I could eat light but I haven't been so hungry I have my moments though where I crave carbs. It's my daughter's birthday Wednesday. I wonder if I could treat myself for just one meal. I'd like to take her out. I have to ask the nutritionist since I could be called in soon. I hope I don't get called in for Wednesday!

OMG that is my question, LOL. I'm fine except for the gas and bloating. Was even hard to get my sips in, but that is going better now. Time, I guess!

How are you feeling?

Don't they let you take Gas X or something? I read someone packed that With them on their way to the hospital. I assume they asked the doctor first. Why don't you ask? Maybe it'll give you some relief. If I talk to my doctor I'll ask too. Hope you ladies feel better soon!

Today I woke up and the gas is much better. Just drank a whole muscle milk and about 8 oz of Water in two hours.

      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.
