Thank you! I was incredibly tired the first two days home. My only "issue" was taking too big of a drink and it being uncomfortable for a few seconds. But now I don't have that.

Who all is on their liquid diet? I started mine Monday' date=' I could have waited till today to start it, but my son is gone to camp till tomorrow, so I thought it would be easier to start it when he wasnt home and I wasnt having to cook for him. It has worked out great. I was told if you can make it thru day3 or 4, you were good. So far, so good! I can only have Clear Liquids, broth, tea or coffee with sugar free sweetener, SF popsicles, SF Jello and 1-3 Protein Drinks (EAS AdvantEDGE brand only). Then on the day before, I can only have clear liquids and have to do a colon cleanse.. :blink: Fun day that will be....lol[/quote']

I'm on my 10th day and its still difficult but I'm down 10lbs so that's a good thing. I get sleeved on Monday. Can't wait to get it over with!

Getting closer. I go in for my pre op with the drug nurse today, then surgery tomorrow. It's kinda weird I don't feel excited or nervous. I'm in a nice state of calmness right now.

Hello everyone im new on here my surgery date is set for july 22 . Pretty nervous and excited at the same time. Anyone having problems with family support? My mom is not so happy bout me having surgery my sister also . The only real support i have is my husband would love to hear from anyone thanks for your time

Corina, I am the opposite...my mom and sis are all for it but my bf (who suffers from severe anxiety) doesnt want me to and he is always theeatening that he is going to call the hospital and tell them I am not following their rules or that I am taking steroids so they will stop the surgery. Lol I just laugh him off and say GLAD there ate HIPPA laws! The hospital cannot even tell you I am a patient there!

I ordered the unjury unflavored and plan to make it into jello! I don't know how it will taste, but I'm hopeful!

      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.
