I had great thirst during the pre-op phase. I was drinking a gallon or more of Water a day and never felt refreshed.

My surgery is tomorrow!!!! I am really getting scared! I have wanted this for so long, and I really can't believe it is here, but I am not looking forward to the recovery part. I have heard it go both ways....really rough, and easy peasy. I am hoping for the easy peasy! :) I am worried about Water intake, sipping instead of big drinks, throwing up (i absolutely hate throwing up or dry heaving), and eating as slow as i should be. On the other hand, I am soooo excited to be starting this journey and being the best me I can be!! It was 20 years ago that I was my thinnest. Not sure how small that even is. We got this....those sleeved this month!! :) Ohhh and it is also my birthday in a few weeks. It will be interesting to see how I get to Celebrate that!!

Thank you 3in1wOL! I thought I was going crazy- no sooner I finish a big glass of water , that I need more. My stomach fills bit I can't quench the thirst. I'm gulping too and worried after surgery that I'll feel this way but won't be able to gulp!

I never worried about gulping post-surgery when I was pre....but there have been times since Wednesday (surgery was Tuesday) that I thought, "I am going to forget I can't gulp and end up throwing up". Fortunately that hasn't happened. There have been a few times I have had too many sips too close together...when that happens I get a pain in my belly and it feels like a little cramp. I must say I am really getting much better at knowing exactly how much I can sip at a time. You will do great....stay positive.

      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.
