Make sure you drink drink drink. Headaches are a sign of dehydration. Also don't do too much strenuous activity/ exercise. You don't have the calories to allow for it.

Having a ruff time here. I have fibromyalgia so my pain was almost unbearable at times. I am just starting to be able to move around more and its getting easier everuday as it should. I am doing the full liquids at the moment and I dnt know how much I'm suppossed to eat and I can't really tell if I'm full but I feel hungry shortly after so maybe I'm not eating enough. I have been eating 2 oz of creamed Soup. I think I'm scared to get to full and feel horrible or throw it back up. How is your pain and food intake going?

So sorry you're hurting....I just feel really weak and like I've done hundreds of sit ups. Walking has helped a lot. However, today I just haven't felt well. I went from being so constipated and gassy to pooping out everything that goes in. I have taken Gas x and Miralax the last two days so I guess it's doing it's job. I've only had a few ounces of chicken broth and I've managed to get down one Premier Protein shake throughout the day.

      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.
