It does get easier! The first day was the hardest. I had a headache day 3-4 then it was smooth sailing from then on. I'm on day 10 now. 3 more days of liquid diet then my new life begins!

My surgery is 2/26 and I have a Pre-op diet for 2 weeks prior to procedure. My hubby is 3 weeks post surgery today and has already lost 28 lbs. hoping we can do this together :)

My hubby is 100 % recovered and is doing cardio like a madman! Surgery went smoothly, except the Anesthesia made him puke right after surgery. But he barely remembers that and is already down 28 lbs!

4my2boys- glad to hear everything went well! Thanks for the small pillow tip. Throwing up after surgery is my second biggest fear....right after being put under. Any other tips would be appreciated for us still on the pre surgery side.

Kleonetti I started my pre op diet as well. The only thing that helped me was to take a nap at dinner time. Its been an extremely hard day. I didn't give in though I'm sure it won't be as bad after a few days

Water!!! Water!!! I started pre-op diet yesterday and that has helped me curb the hunger. I think tomorrow will either be my worst day and then I will be over the hump. I had headaches and a little nauseous and light headed but the Water helped me push through. Yeah I had to go pee alot but as my friend said you are detoxing from all the crap you use to eat. Good luck!!! My surgery is on the 18th.

Kinda bummed that my surgery that was scheduled for today got rescheduled until 2/27 :( :( :(

Apparently my surgeons second case was 6 hours long and their was still another person ahead of me so it was no way that I was getting in today.... The office wanted to put me on the schedule for tomorrow but I would be the 6th case of the day.. So I would have been in the same situation. Oh well probably for the best....

We don't know why some things happen but God does. Think of it as a blessing. Cause we just never know what we might have been saved from....

Tomorrow makes day 3 for me so I'm hardly an expert, but I have found that since I am doing 3 Meal Replacement Protein Shakes a day and then can have all the Clear Liquids I want including water, low sodium broth, sugar free Jello & popsicles, and the drink mixes that you add yo your water ( like Wyler's under 5 calories), that the later I wait in the morning to eat the fuller I am for the rest of the day. If I eat ( and I use the term very loosely) my first shake around 6 or 7 then I find myself absolutely ravenous by 9 or so and sometimes I get to the point when my stomach starts to toss and turn and it makes me sick because it is empty! I have found that if I just drink water or unsweet tea until about 9 or 10 and then have my first shake, I stay fuller longer and make it until about 3 or so until I have the 2nd shake...in between if I start to feel a little empty I will eat a cup of jello or something like that...I know everyone's body is different, but that is what is working for me! Hope you find something that will work for you!!!

      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.
