I have everything ready, just waiting on a call from surgeons office. When I spoke with the nurse yesterday she said we were looking at Jan, 28th or 30th....I can't wait! The dr. office had sent the wrong surgery code to my insurance, so yesterday they were suppose to send the right code and when they get the okay they will schedule me for my last two visits before surgery..!

Hmmmm, what kind of liquids? How is your salt intake? And could it be hormonal?

salt intake is probably a little high since i'm making my own stocks to drink rather than the canned stuff. but I'm drinking a ton of liquids to counteract the salt. Who knows. Maybe just not enough. thinking about cutting down to 2 Protein Shakes instead of 3. Still less than the 5 they want me to drink

Make sure to verify the carb count on the Protein shakes. My surgeon requires less than 5 carbs per shake. He also requires I use non-fat or 1% milk to make them with. Salt can definitely make you retain Water. How much water do they want you to drink. I'm supposed to be at 100 oz a day. Ugh. I find using the Mio and Dasani water flavors help a lot if you aren't a big water drinker.

      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.
