You are lucky you don't have to do a bowel prep! I'm just glad i didn't have to do the whole jug just 4 glasses. Funny how every surgeon has such different preps.

I get my sleeve tomorrow and I'm in a bit of a panic. I lost my info sheet that told me what to eat when. I know as of 2 days before it was all Protein Shakes and apple sauce and cream of wheat. Can I eat that today? I'm reading that people were eating only Clear Liquids and starting to freak out because I drank muscle milk this morning and was starting to drink my bolhouse coffee Protein Drink with a scoop of other Protein.

Why do I loose everything!! blurg.

What have your doctors told you to do?

I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am. Ugh I hope I didn't mess it up by drinking Protein. I better go scour my car for the letter they gave me.

oh and I burnt my lip really bad on the chicken broth so that's keeping my hunger at bay. :rolleyes:

I'm know I'm the odd person out, but I HATE drinking Water. I actually just don't like drinking liquids at all. I could easily go all day and realize i've drank 8-12 ounces of any liquid. I think it's because I'm ADHD and forget the water is there to drink.

I guess I'll start my after surgery plan now...to set a time to go off every 5 minutes to remind me to take a sip of water. That or every-time a new song comes on my ipod I sip .

good luck everyone.

That's a good idea. What ever it takes. I don't much like Water either, but I like crystal light.There are many flavors to pick from.My favorite is tea with peach flavor.Give it

a try. Anything to get the water down Lol. I'm really excited to finally get this weight off. I think I've been on every diet and excercise program. Good luck, tomorrow!

I gag at all artificial sweeteners.

I was pretty calm about this but I just went to the grocery store and it made me sad and scared. People who are writing about how hungry they are post op are freaking me out. I really hope I'm not because I keep telling myself that after surgery I won't feel these hunger pains like I have today.

There's a part of me who wants to run for the hills and eat Italian food and never show up at the hospital. It's a very small part mind you. very small. I know I'm making the right choice for me and my son and our lives but....

I think all of us would love to run to hills for Italian food and more! :-)Right now I'm so hungry.My daughter made my family an Italian dinner, but low fat. I don't care it smelled so good, so I just went to my bedroom while they ate dinner.I know I'm making the right choice.

      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.
