So my whole family is sick in Christmas. Dry cough, runny nose. Ick! Sudafed and day/NyQuil are getting us thru. But this being my first real cold I have realized two things. I can't eat or drink much at all while sick. And I can't even get my Vitamins in. Everything makes me gag. This should be a great way to stay away from all the crap the next two days. Lol! Yesterday I was ready to kill everyone. I was so mad about being sick. And I let them all know! Now today I'm like eh! Ill take it! And I lost another lb in two days! I'm 196 today! Merry Christmas to me!! I hope everyone has a great holiday!!

Wishing you and your family to be well. Get lots of rest and try to concentrate on getting fluids in. There is little else you can do but ride it out. Just try not to get dehydrated. Merry Christmas to you and yous and hope you all feel better very soon.

I am really afraid of getting ill. Id be mad too. Not being able to eat and drink could put us in the hospital. Get well soon!

      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.
