I really want to sleep!!! Went to bed at 10:45. Got up at 12:30. Can't go back to sleep. Tried walking, tried pillows, tried I Love Lucy. Not in pain. Don't have gas. Just can't sleep!

Sorry you can't sleep. I have never been a good sleeper. I usually work nights so my schedule stays messed up. Since the surgery (7/22) I don't think I've slept more than 3 hours at a time. Like you, no real pain or gas, just wake up:) Right now I have the FBI files on TV and I'm playing on the computer. And of course...sipping water! lol

I would love a Protein Drink about now. I can't so anything but Clear Liquids until my first post op visit so bummed. I can now feel when I'm hungry vs my mi d just wanting to eat.

Thinking of calling and asking the doctor if I could try my shakes. I don't want to mess anything up. broth and water work well.

Have to have three Protein Drinks a day. I have to mix the powder with water. I can also have Isopure clear Liquid Protein drinks. Monday I start full liquids and can have creamed Soups made with milk (strained) and sugar free pudding. I can make Protein Shakes with milk then, too. I can't wait for Monday. LOL

I can only do clear, I have to meet with the doctor Wednesday then it's on to full liquids. I test drove saltines and it was great two crackers and I felt better. Chewed to oblivion and chased with a swallow of broth. Heaven lol.

I have to say I find it interesting that I can get my fluids in. I sip like crazy. I just use a regular 8oz glass it takes about an hour to empty. The sip bottle got on my nerves plus the top smelled after a while, I scrub it all the time.

I hope I get to start my proteins Wednesday.

I brought zippy cups. I lov it. The only problem is that takes a long time to finish 8oz. Hopefully i will b able to drink like u. I am just afraid that if i drink too much my sleeve is going to open.

My throat has been killing me. I finally thought to look at it and it was covered in white blister like things. And I've had horrible diarrhea all day. I called my doctor and he called in a pill plus a swish and swallow and I already feel a little better. My doctor was so nice too. He called me back in less than 5 minutes on a sat evening, said it was no trouble at all and immediately called in the scrips, then texted me to let me know it was done. Love Dr. Jawad. It is thrush. I can't remember who just said they had thrush, but are you taking something for it?

      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.
