So I have a bit of nausea but I'm sure I ate a bit too mich, it was only 1/2C but I don't think I'm going to be able to get anymore of that in without feeling this way for a while. Who knew, half a cup could fill up someone so much. Now I have to wait an hour or so before I take my last pills of the day. A note to all, take your pills before your meals, otherwise it might be hard to get them in once you move from the full liquid stage.

Ummm, yeah, guess I'll have to sleep after surgery because I barely slept at all. I was still awake at 12:30, slept a bit, awake again at 1:45 and now up again to get ready. Talk to you all later today!

I'm here! Have my lovely gown on. It's this big bulky gown they call The Bair Paw. It connects to a hose to blow either warm or cool air in, whichever you need!

Hi@@lillian123, welcome to our growing losers bench. A little afraid? But excited, you come to the right place. Last night I was having a major talk with myself and I. So, glad I wasn't scheduled for surgery then or I would have walked out. Today I have come to my senses. It's a roller coaster ride and I don't like those one bit.

      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.
