Way to go, Sammi. Merry Christmas!! Just think in another month how much weight will be gone! I haven't weighed since I left the hospital because of the IV fluids have me feeling very bloated.

Today I can finally take bigger drinks of water! I am hoping I dont stretch anything doing it, but after feeling dehydrated and only being able to take sips all day it is sure nice to take a big drink when I want. If anyone hears anything from their Dr that this is not ok, let me know. I don't see mine again for 2 weeks.

Yes Gen is right your only supposed to eat 1/4 cup per meal which is only 2 ozs but there are alot of people like me who cant even eat that much yet so don't think you HAVE to eat that much listen to your body it will say when it's done

      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.
