Not sure if my scale is working properly but it says that I've lost another 9lbs since yesterday morning. Is that even possible?!?!?

If so I'm super jealous!

Feeling really light headed today. Probably lack of calories.

I am as well and i'm only supposed to be sugar free clears until thursday. But today I decided to get a can of progresso Tomato use about a 1/4 cup and Water it down and add some beef broth to add to it. I was thinking maybe I needed a few calories too.... I feel somewhat better. I've been surviving on Powerade and sugar free popsicles there's not a lot to those

I had probably 3oz of Greek yogurt and an 11oz Protein Shake this morning and felt better. I still can't stand up too quick but definitely and improvement. I working on the last 3oz of a bottle of water too. I couldn't imagine still having to be on Clear Liquids. I think I would have fainted a long time ago.

Anyone else have coughing fits if they lay down? I feel like I'm producing extra saliva and end up coughing it up. Making sleeping way hard.

Oh. And I'm a little concerned. Anything with Protein Powder added is not sitting very well with me. I had no problem with Protein Shakes pre op but now they're all coming right back up.

I just found out my date is June 26!!

Me too! New to this forum. So ready to start anew! I'm also a school teacher so hopefully this will give me enough time to figure out food for lunch next year...

Yay, I'm glad to have a surgery buddy! We are lucky to have the summer to get accustomed to our new lifestyle. I haven't told anyone at work so it has been hard during these last few teacher workdays to explain why I can't go out to lunch (pre-op diet). Are you on a pre-op diet?

      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.
