Sleeved this morning. I'm tired and groggy with moments where I feel like I might throw up. But then I fan myself and it passes. Pain is pain lol but tolerable on the meds. Issue is I'm too unstable to walk. I'm not even hungry but would love water! I can't eat or drink a thing until tomorrow's swallow test.

My mouth was sooo dry. I asked for ice Water and an extra cup so I could swuish it in my mouth and spit it out; they let me as long as I promised not to swallow any.

Bummer! Those swabs didn't do squat for me.

I would ask your nurse is there something else you can do. Let them know this is an issue for you. I sucked on those darn green mouth swab things like you wouldn't believe. There really isn't much difference between that and a cup of ice.

Sleeved 12/17/12 and enjoying the adventure!

      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.
