Hi Lambshop, you'll be fine. AND, you've come to the right place. Those that have had the surgery before you will assist.

I'm going to follow & take notes, for I'll need the support in August.

You had this surgery to create a better you. Be encouraged!

thank you so much. It was rough coming out of surgery had chest pain and didn't wake up fully till the next day.

Now I just need to figure out what I can eat. I have lots of food allergies so this is going to be challenging.

I am a July 8th'er also. I am doing well keeping liquids down, but I am afraid that I am not drinking enough. I am having 1/2 cup of broth and SF Jello, but still do not think I am taking in enough liquids. My doctor stressed Protein Shakes, but I have yet to find one that I can tolerate at this time. I am going to try the G2. Mornings are my toughest time. I feel the worse; not sure if it is because my stomach is empty, dehydrated, but it takes me a few hours to get myself going. Feeling pretty good otherwise.

      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.
