Maybe you're doing too much' date=' can you take a day to just sit around and relax?[/quote']

Today I plan to relax. Maybe take a walk later. I will focus on getting in my Protein and Water today. I'm not too excited about eating purée lol. I was dying to eat before the surgery, now it feels like a nuisance in a way because its hard for it to pass out of my system. I wonder if I can take anything for Constipation.< /p>

I've actually been okay with the eating, try some ricotta cheese or yogurt. I also made tacos for the family and I had a little of the ground meat with some cheese on top. Maybe a scrambled egg? But I'm limiting it to exactly 2oz. Per meal so that I don't overheat.

As for the Constipation, I mixed some Miralax into my G2 and that did the trick. I've been regular since. Did you make your follow up appointment yet? Mine's Tuesday.

FYI- still can't drink water! Missing it!

Waiting for the insurer to approve is nerve racking. I was so anxious as well. But you should hear something soon. I'm sure your surgeon submitted everything you needed to.

What part of queens?

      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.
