Ever since I took the magnesium citrate stuff this morning my stomach has been queasy. I have had to sip slowly and force myself to drink all day I am so nauseated. Is it nerves? Surgery tomorrow at 1. Good luck to all my surgery buddies!

Hey, you know the special sanitizing wash they have you use the night before and morning of? Did you use it on your face and neck and all the way down to your feet and toes, or just abdomen? I'm hesitant to use it on my face.

I don't have to use the wash but from what I've read on here its for the surgical site. I wouldn't put it on my face. Good luck!

Do not use on face! The paper I received with the pack said not to. Don't forget to wash your hands thoroughly after you use.. Also don't shave just prior to use like I did. It will burn and tingle for 12 hours after!

Good luck to all of you my prayers and thoughts are with all of you. My surgery was 22nd I got home yesterday, Sunday mid day.

Very excited for tomorrow! I have to report to MGH in Marquette, MI tomorrow at 5 AM. I'm first on the surgery docket. I have not been able to sleep the last couple of nights because of being so damn hungry from the all liquid diet. Anybody else tomorrow?

      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.
