I had mine on the 17th and I haven't had 1 did the milk of magnesia make me so sick with the taste of it... felt my mouth salivating ...... seems like the whole pre op diet only had 1 first week of the pre op diet.....don't think I've had 1 for a week before the operation.... had a few pebbles at the hospital but I thought that's what is giving me such a bad headache being constipated......but I don't know what to do... guess I'm about ready to get the garden hose daddy says...lol

My surgery was done on the 17th of December and I did the pre op diet for 2 weeks only had 1 bowel movement that first week....... only because I took a laxative .....I'm probably pretty constipated they did a suppository at the hospital that's what I had caused a few pebbles when I got home I did duclox laxatives... today 2 teaspoons of milk of magnesia this morning and still nothing... maybe it's all the drugs I was given in the hospital didnt take that much pain medication was in there for 3 days after the surgery......

Well I will try milk of mag and see what happens! That last BM was when I was in pre op and I think that was because of the antibiotics they gave 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.
