Glad you two are doing well and not in too much pain :). Did they offer you any liquids? My doc. Said I would only get Water and ice chips the first day.

I only got ice chip so far but only until midnight because they are going to check if there is and leakage today I'm hoping it's soon that they run this test, since my throat is getting dry!

My surgery is in two days. I'm a little nervous, but trying to stay positive. I've convinced myself something is going to go wrong. I'm a worrier like that. Good to see so many people in the same boat though!

UPDATE!!! Received a call from my Surgeons office and they have moved my surgery from the 17th to the 12th. Starting my liquid diet Friday THIS Friday. I'm not going to lie, I instantly panicked and walked in circles, talking to my self for about 5 mins, then kicked myself in the butt and reminded ME that I have been preparing for this since July 2013 and I am READY no matter what the date. I am anxious but also THRILLED. Good luck to ALL!!

My surgery is on Friday...I'm a lil bummed because it's not till 5:45pm!!! That's a long day of NO eating or drinking!!

I'm on a clear liquid diet starting today (and it sucks the big one) sooo lethargic.

I'm a worrier too...so I totally understand. But I too am trying to stay positive! We got this!! :)

      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.
