Heading to the hospital in about three hours. Trying to get some last minute things packed up and ready, and finishing some laundry. I slept well last night with the help of my friend Ambien. We are getting a foot of snow today and I thin I am more anxious now about my husband having to drive me to the hospital in it. School for my kids has been cancelled and I hear the roads are pretty bad. I have been praying all morning for all of my surgery buddies today, those who have yet to have their procedure and those who are already on the losers bench, and for all of our surgeons. I will try to post something tonight if I am feeling up to it, bringing my iphone, kindle fire, and laptop so I am sure I can get one fired up enough to let you know how I am doing. Sending love and prayers to all!

Hello' date=' doing as well as can be expected. I too have not felt hunger but I still try my best to keep up with my meals and liquids. I still have quite a bit of pain on my left side and have to get around with a cane. However, it is slowly improving each day. I haven't ventured out of my apartment since my two night stay at the hospital. So I just walk Laos around the apartment to get moving. I have also had a horrible sore throat. Hurts to swallow but I am doing salt Water gargle. I hope it goes away soon the only real relief from it is sf Popsicles. Hope you are doing well Montage.[/quote']

Hope your throat start starts to feel better :) I am 5 days post op. I also have not had any hungry feeling yet either.

      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.
