I'm sooooo hungry. Have been on liquid diet since last Tuesday. Surgery is Tuesday the 26th. I went to my Dr here in Lubbock on Thurs, felt like I was coming down with a cold. She gave me a shot of Roseffrin and a script for Keflex. Does not seem to be working. I have to travel 6 hours to Dallas for surgery. I have a little congestion in my bronchial tubes. What should I do?

I'm in your situation too but surgery for me is next Tuesday the 5th. I have a sore throat and nasal congestion, just took a Zicam and I'm hoping it works.

I'm calling my pcp tomorrow for a z-pac.

Hope you feel better 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.
