I made the mistake of doing some math today....

Post-op I am to drink 3-4 ounces an hour with specific instructions of no more than 4 ounces an hour for the first 2 months-check!.

I'm supposed to drink 64 ounces a day-check!

I'm supposed to not drink 30 minutes before meals, take 30 minutes for each meal, and not drink for at least 30 minutes after meals-check!

Wait, huh? Apparently, in order to follow the rules and get my fluids in I can only sleep 3 1/2 hours a night???? This ought to be interesting!!!!!

I am new to the community and this is my first post. My surgery date is Feb. 18, just 2 weeks away. I am so excited, but very very nervous at the same time. Also started my pre-op diet today. The first half of the day went great, but by 2 p.m. I was starving and had a major headache. I am sure in a few days that it will get easier.

Oh that headache can be a nasty one. My surgery is Thursday, and my doc has his patients do 5 days of Clear Liquids. I'm grateful it's short and he allows Protein Shakes, but I am really struggling tonight. I had a full blown, kick in the head, vomiting kind of Migraine the first night. It cleared, now I am just a little fuzzy brained and really tired. It's easier, but it's hour to hour.

      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.
