I am home. Surgery was yesterday and I am feeling okay. They filled me with gas to be able to see everything so I have a little discomfort from that. Burping helps. My incisions are very small and glued together so I am hoping for no scars. Im really glad its over and just concentrating on taking all the medicine and drinking lots of Water.< /p>

Anyone else struggle at times with the preop liquid diet? I was so into this in the beginning when I was taking all the classes, but somehow the long wait between my last preop class and now has made me a little out of touch with the surgery and excitement. It still seems forever away and yet it is Monday. I struggled the first 3 days and cheated at times with the liquid diet, did awesome days 4-6, and today the headaches started again and I cheated and stole a couple fries from my son 's lunch. I fell like if I want this so bad why can't I stick to the liquid diet for 10 days? I am not hungry. It was the headache this morning and my son throwing my iPhone across the room and smashing the screen and popping it off that sent me over the edge to steal the fries. Any tips?

Well I made it to the sleeved side! My surgery was yesterday. I was in a drugged daze the first part of the day but they like to wean you off and on to intravenous Tylenol. That worked ok. Of course I got home and popped a pill! I'm sore but feel way better today. I just keep thinking I only have to go thru this once!

I'm scheduled for July 18th, 2014 in Mexico. I've had about a dozen friends who have gone to Mexico and had a wonderful experience. Price was something I could afford. I'm on my 10 Protein liquid diet. Let's just say it is kicking my butt...LOL!! I'm excited, nervous and I would be kidding everyone if I said I wasn't scared. This is a lifestyle change that is forever. I'm so glad a found a forum that I can follow and can help keep me inspired.

Hi Tricia, I'm also on the 18th, in New York. I am on the 7th day of the liquid diet and struggling through. I wish you all the best next Friday.

M4buf I think I might be stealing fries too if my son threw my iPhone and broke it.

You can do this, we are in this together. I don't have a 10 day liquid diet, just one day liquids. Don't beat yourself up.

The best decision you can make has already been made. This is not the easy way out, it's hard and we will work hard at it to go where we could not go before. The liquid diet is supposed to give your liver a cleanse and a break from the work it has to do, so any help you can give it will be appreciated.

Hang in there, and get a new phone GF!

      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.
