The Hospital just called me with my surgery time for 9/16 ... 3:30 pm. Ugh. Said not liquids from midnight before even though it is almost dinner the next day, any suggestions? I'm so excited, just bummed about spending the entire day waiting.. Thirsty and hungry.

I hate when they do that as well. I had a hip surgery it was at 5pm. Just try not to think about it and it's not too bad is my suggestion. Good luck!!

my suggestion or should i say what I would do is sleep the day away and if I can turn up the music and clean what you can, make sure everything is ready for when you go back home.

Last night I decided to try putting my nectar Protein in the blender with ice and Water. I liked it much better but it was very frothy. This morning I put 8 oz of water and about 6 ice cubes in the blender and crushed the ice. Then I put the nectar protein in my shaker bottle, poured the ice water in with it and shook it up. Makes it nice and cold! Kind of like a slushy.

Hi Rachel, my name's Janis (not Lucrezia, lol) Well, I'm supposed to be doing an all liquid diet, but have really been struggling...made it about 85%. I've managed to lose 25 lbs in the past few months, though and I'm doing just liquid this weekend. I'm excited and a little nervous, too. We're going to do great!!

      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.
