Ditto...!!! And i have a killer headache that won't go away!

That's funny...cause I keep Migraines and I felt a headache coming on this afternoon and I told myself not today cause I won't be able to take anything for it. I'm super excited but have a lot of emotions...but Wednesday isn't coming fast enough.

My doctor gave me a list of all meds to stop at certain times....NSAIDs were one of them to stop taking 2 weeks prior to surgery. I probably could take something else but I don't want to chance it. I start Clear liquids Monday.

No I'm not having second thoughts...just thoughts about how I will make out during and after when it comes to eating...I don't want to fail.

      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.
