It's better than I thought it would be. I needed pain meds as soon as I woke up and they worked wonders. Now, it's 2:30 am and I am only on Torradol-nothing really crazy.

Even though my surgery is not till September, (thanks blue cross & blue shield) my surgeon said I would not be on liquid diet before the surgery. I am not sure if that's because I have a low BMI or that's just how he runs things. I considered myself lucky.

I'm pretty frustrated that for the last week and a half my weight toggles between 248 and 251. I was losing about a lb a day and I've been stuck at the same weight for a week and a half. And I'm not understanding how I can gain 3 lbs when I can barely eat. I ate half of a meat ball last night and a few bites of potatoes. Grrrr! I hope my body isn't done losing weight cuz that's a lot if money for 30 lbs.

My weight has been fluctuating by a pound the past couple days too. I'm sure it'll even itself out.

How do you manage just having the fluids? Don't you get hungry?

In my preop diet I did get hungry and I did have headaches the first week. BUT the second week was much better and a lot easier. And now... My stomach never growls but I know I'm hungry when my stomach just feels empty. It's hard to explain until you experience it.

      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.
