Well guys I ran into a snag , this was my Day 4 and by far the worst, had to go back to ER for 5 hrs, with dangerously high BP and pulse , extreme chills and legs and feet swelled super tight ,and a miserable headache!! They finally agreed to give me some BP back and that's helped alot, but still have bad pulse and headache !! My potassium was low also , but I was told to never take these meds that I have taken for over 7 yrs, I never understood how I could just stop my BP meds , but hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here in out !! Please keep me in your prayers ! Did anyone else have any similar issues ??

The hospital list dr also told me to stop all my blood pressure meds. I did. Big mistake. It went sky high, feet swelled back up again, so I'm back on them. Boy was my surgeon and primary mad!

liquids today, drank my cocktail at 10 this morning. Felt a little funny since 11:30. I guess that is normal?? Blood sugar is down to 92 & blood pressure is 114/68. These numbers haven't been that low in years!! Hospital called, surgery is tomorrow at 11.

      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.
