My Pre Op diet starts on Saturday and I am really not looking forward to it since seeing everyone's misery. Good Luck to those having surgery today!

It sucks but it's doable. My worst day was like day 8 or 9. I'd accidentally got some sugar in my system from not checking carbs and it triggered me. I wanted everything I could imagine and it was hard not to cheat, but I didn't.

Thanks I'm really nervous about this part. The headaches are not going to be fun. when I dont eat I get a headache and my hands start shaking.

You can add a scoop of unflavored Protein to some crystal lite and guzzle that and it will help. It's not the best drink on the planet but it's not horrible either.

Hey!!! Doing good so far, thanks! At least doing well on the preop stuff. Having problems with the hubs. We have not been getting along lately. It doesn't have anything to do with my surgery. He's been pretty supportive so far - except when we were fighting Sunday and he told me that I chose this and I did this to myself, which is true. It just pissed me off.

They get scared and project it wrong. Guys aren't adept at showing how they feel and project it on to other things. I'm sorry you're having to deal with it right now. Sure you're doing this for you, but you're doing it for him too. To spend a longer, happier, healthier life with him. (((Hugs)))

Thanks for the support! :) I really appreciate it

Oh man. Hope you get there soon and safely. I am all IV'd up and waiting to talk to the surgeon and anesthesiologist before I go!

How are u? I'm recovering well so far but I'm starving! To my surprise they also repaired a hernia and gave me heart bandages! I've been walking around and did 5 laps already! Feeling good and I hope you're doing well too!

Yay!!! Glad to hear you're doing well! Odd that you're starving. I rarely hear that, but sometimes do. It could be stomach acid or real hunger. Do you get to eat ice chips or anything

Nothing since midnight last night! Ice cubes yes but not to eat just to wet my lips. It could be head hunger because I don't physically feel hungry. I do feel very thirsty.

Hi.- 1st day home and improving each hour. Have not felt hungary until my family made spaghetti andeatballs for dinner. Although I didn't physically feel hungary, I missed being able to taste it. I guess head hunger is real. My biggest complaint has been the extra air and gas in my chest and shoulder. Keeps me kind of restless.

      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.
