Who is driving you home? Do you have someone to help? I will pray for you. You are very brave.

I think you need someone to drive you home! In my hospital, they won't even release you to a cab! Good luck!

I haven't had a solid yet. I was the same day as you. Are you still on liquids only?

I should have mentioned that, I started cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs, refried Beans on Thursday. Prior to that was only Clear Liquids.< /p>

Because it's to help shrink the liver and I should only be eating "good"carbs....if that makes sense?

Good to know, my surgeon didn't tell me that, but maybe I'll just have those without the Protein added for the next few days then. Thank you!

We all probably had some second thoughts' date=' but then for me I just said but what life am I living now?[/quote']

True better today just want to get past the first 3 days surgery, I'm a wimp I am ready. Just afraid of failing like all the other diets I've been on. I so desperately want this to work!

No' date=' I have not had 2nd thoughts. Just scared for the after surgery part. The gas in chest, not being able to drink, no energy. But the pay off will be worth it. I have been researching foe 2 years & followed 2 friends go through this journey. I've been really grouchy the past two days and "nesting". I want my house clean and organized for my hubby and son. I want to be able to come home and relax without having a dirty house. crazy nerves I guess? ![/quote']

Yes I can understand that I have been leaning today also. And I'm anxious about the gas pain surgery and all that too. Glad to know I'm not alone! Thank 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.
