Oh and if you are going to be in the car, I would make sure the hospital is going to give you a binder...it really does help with any bumps!!! (it helped me a lot and I still wear it in the car, but I am only 4 days post op!!)

Premeir Protein. Find it at costco or on Amazon.< /p>

I made my own broth. sugar free Jello and pudding. Sugar free popcicles, I also got sugar free fudge bars. Some sugar free drink packets or crystal lite.

Bring a pillow for your ride. I did for my 50 minute ride but didnt really need it. The hospital gave me small barf bags and a anti nausea shot for the ride home.

I can barely choke down a Protein shake, so I manage one a day and got the rest of my Protein in with milk. The sf ice pops are good and I asked my nurse for a supply of the broth packets to bring home.

Def have meds on hand, even if not needed. Better tone safe, than sorry!

Best of luck!

      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.
