So I went in for surgery on July 16th in the morning at 5:30 AM. I was in the operating room around 7:00 and then I remember waking up around 2:30 in a lot of pain. Nothing to eat or drink on day 1. Then day 2 I had to take an x-ray and they saw alot of swelling so still nothing to eat or drink on day 2. Then on day 3 they allowed me to have an oz of Water every hour. By the time I got to the fourth hour I was so full. My surgeon came in and suggested that I try some Jello and I can tolerate it then they will be able to go home. So it all worked out and I'm home. Can't believe this has actually happened.

      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.
