It's doing okay I have little struggles here and there. But it turns out we weren't required to do a full liquid. Our paperwork says Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and a salad for dinner. I double checked with Alma days after starting and she said I didn't have to do full liquids. Just follow the plan and the day before surgery Clear Liquids with nothing to eat after mid night. I was so frustrated with that but decided to stick with the liquids it's not going to hurt anything.

I thought 3 days of clear liquids and laxative before the surgery.. But I do plan on having a last meal before surgery lol I've read that it doesn't hurt anything.

I guess it all depends in BMI. What was sent to me was 7-14 days on pre op diet that I mentioned at first. The part where it say laxative for 3 days Alma said don't take because we aren't getting gastric bypass. I'm having a nice fat salad tonight I did take the laxative just because I felt it won't hurt. Then I'm going to be completely clear liquids on Monday(day of arrival)

That's what I received. I may take the laxative for one day... I go to the bathroom quite frequently naturally. I get out there on Sunday and my surgery is Monday..so the contents will be out of my stomach by then. I really am going to miss food lol

So we are a day behind each other for surgery. Okay then I can rely on you to tell me how it is. Lol I think my friend is trying not to sike me out. She said it only takes a day n a half to start feeling normal again. But never did she say she was in horrible pain. Lol just gas and pressure.

      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.
