My dad is coming to get me on his way home from work. Gonna visit with him and my mom for a while. Then he's going to take me grocery shopping for some things people have suggested like condensed Soups and Carnation Instant Breakfast.< /div>

I know Protein Powder isn't sitting well with you but try non fat dry milk powder mixed into Soup or the carnation instant breakfast. It has 8grams of Protein in a scoop. It'll be nice to get out if the house and having a change of scenery. Getting some fresh air might help too

That's good. Carnation Instant Breakfast is so yummy too! I've always loved it and can't wait till I can have it. Lol I'm sorry you're having such a hard time holding things down! That's terrible. If it keeps up, make sure you go in for some fluids.

I got my surgery time for tomorrow. I check in at 9 and surgery is at 11. I am nervous now...

I go in at 8am and they told me I was probably the last surgery of the day. What's up with that? Last surgery of the day and no liquids! I'm not looking forward to the day long wait. :angry:

I am sorry that stinks. I was worried about going 12+ hours without anything to drink too. Ill drink a glass at midnight.

They aren't making me do a bowel prep because I've been on liquids for thirty days. I did drink 1/2 of magnesium citrate because I wanted cleaned out. Kind of regretting that now. Liquids in liquids out. I have a headache too but afraid to take anything for it.

Tylenol should be ok...that's about the only thing my surgeon allows.

Maybe they're not doing that many surgeries tomorrow. ?? It seems kinda cruel to make you go that long with nothing. Maybe IVs.

They told me no aspirin a week before or after ever. I wasn't sure about Tylenol the night before so thought I would error on the safe side.

I'll have to try the milk powder. I did hold down some skim milk with protein powder mixed with iced coffee this afternoon. Wasn't bad.

I hope I like the Carnation as much as everyone else. Seems to get rave reviews!!!

All that came up on me today was the two super cold things I tried - Jello and a popsicle. Tasted so good going in tho! lol

      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.
