Are you allowed raw veggies? I find chewing on them all day helps out a lot.. Were only a week away! You can do it! :)

So my Surgury date is also Jan 14. But I haven't been so luck. I have given in to my hunger pains more than I would like to have. Being a flight attendant on long haul flights with nothing to do and Migraines because I couldn't eat. Really wasn't good for the altitude inflight. I'm feeling so bad now but now I'm taking it one day at a time. I wish I could have taken off for the 2 week pre- op diet. But just finished my EGD today and I'm super exciter????????????????

I was a flight attendant also, quite a few years and children back!! I sooooo understand how you're feeling. Nothing to do, galley full of junk and a belly screaming at you! I gained weight flying too.

Take some raw veggies and rice vinegar ( maybe ask doc for something in case security won't let it through!) I put cucumbers in a zip loc and throw vinegar on them and munch like they were potato chips! I buy carrot chips and baby carrots too, the already cut "chip" ones are easiest.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time. Hang in there. We only have few days to go!!

Good luck

Hang in there.

I have Migraines too. But they have improved with more water! I admire you!

In being a flight attendant and soon to be sleeved too. Because I have never flown by my self(without my DH).

A goal I hope to achieve!

You are already Successful

You can do it!

Good luck

      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.
