Well this is my 4th day and I had to go to doctor today because I have numbness on my left leg from the knee to my hip. They did an altra sound to see if I got a blood lot but its not so they said it might be a pinch nerve. Also when they took my blood pressure was 98/66 which is low. So doc said to make sure I have broth at least 1 + day.

I hate chicken broth so I got chunky chicken n dumpling in a can and drained it and had the broth. Much better.

One thing I did today comming back from the doc was I stopped by Starbucks like I used to every day for a grande Carmel maceio. I gat a mini one and drank it without swallowing it

I miss my coffee. But it satisfied me.

      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.
