From what I've gathered the most pain will be while your on a pain pump. Then a couple days of discomfort and gas. Which doesn't sound all that bad. But hey, we will get through it, as soon!

Yes! My date is the 22nd! I've been reading blogs and forums. I also been going over and over and over my education/diet manual. Which I'm about to do now. Trying to get my postop diet menu down, ideas for the different stages. Starting to stock pantry and fridge with different items. Making sure I get some form of exercise in with my busy work/school schedule, so it wouldn't be a shock to my body afterwards. Trying not to get nervous.

I hope it gets easier Clair. What Protein Drinks are you using? I use body fortress vanilla cream or chocolate. If its premaid the one I like beat is EAS strawberry. What you can do is get some SF Jello mix I use strawberry and add a little to the vanilla and use skim milk it really is a lot better

      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.
