I wasn't suppose to start liquids till Sat., but I went ahead and started Wed. I have surprisingly been doing good. Trying different Protein Shakes and having a popsicle or Jello (sugar free of course) when I really think that I have to have something other than Water. I weighed in this morning at 323.5, which is down 12 lbs. since Wednesday. Has to be water weight. Praying for the Dec 10th surgeries. Hang in there everyone!

Well today is the big day...getting ready to head to the hospital in about an hour.

'I will be praying for you today and the coming days. Just take everything at a slow pace and know that you may feel bad one hour and much better the next, then a little more pain the next, but it keeps improving and the better stays around longer everytime. Hope this makes sense. I still have some pain meds in me. Pain was very manageable. Do walk as soon as you can and for as much as you can. I could and should have done a lot better in that area.

Wishing you the very best.

      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.
