Part of that can be from the gas they used during surgery and part of it can be from the Protein Shakes. When you can eat more balanced it should get better.

I think it may also have something to do with your body being in ketosis. I first noticed it on my two week liquid preop diet. It will go away.

I havent had any of these issues. Maybe because ive had a hysterectomy. Could be the hormones.

I went from Secret clear gel to Dove. The Secret would be fine but only until about 3...since I tend to hit the gym after 4, I had to do something!!

my sister brought me a goodie bag today, some different kinds of green tea bags and some MITCHUM deodrant. After I told her I couldn't stand the smell of myslef she must have thought she would get me some heavy duty stuff.

I also found that i was rather smelly! Luckliy theres a deoderant cream here in israel that you put a small dab under your arms once a week and all smell is gone! Its amazing stuff --/ and theres one especially for feet which works amazingly too. What i like about it is that i dont have to suffer a strong perfume smell which i hate

      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.
