Just started my prep. Fun fun! I have to be at the hospital at 11am tomorrow and surgery is at 1pm. Very nervous, scared, excited. I have been crying off and on for 3 days.

You'll be fine.

could have been your positioning during surgery. You should tell your primary care doctor.

Like @@kimodell69 said, it's amazing how a bunch of strangers have been so supportive and wonderful support for each other. This really is an amazing group of people. I haven't been as active as some but I very much appreciate you all. Thank you so much!

let me know how it is! I just had my first "meal" pourable key lime Greek yogurt. Right after I had to sit down bcs I got so flushed! Took a zofran too just in case. Can't wait for normal puréed food.

@@layknee hope its good!

I never knew I had missed tuna helper so much. About 2-3 ounces worth. Lol. It was good.

With all the troubles I've been having, I have avoided nausea, vomiting, and dumping syndrome.

No problem with sugar or butter.

Still having some cramping with Water. But tea with cream no problem. juice no problem.

It's weird. The worst thing is that I have a bad taste in my mouth more often than not. Not sure where it's from.

      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.
