Hi everyone,

I finally had my surgery on friday 6-7! It has been better than expected! I'm moving around, trying to get my Water & Protein in & I never thought that burping, coughing, dry heaving & farting would be so AWESOME! I knew what to expect so nothing really was shocking!

For ALL the pre-op people.....Please don't hesitate or be afraid, just keep reading this forum, it really was so helpful!

Thank you to everyone for the great advice & support! Now I must go choke down some low sodium chicken broth... ;)

-Molly

I am Pre-op and this is a very great mental approach to take going in, I will do it just as you have. I have to remember COMFORT IS A WANT NOT A NEED. Managing my new weight loss will be my need.

      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.
