Hey misstvb

Glad to see someone else on for Oct. 8th. There area lot of Oct.7th and as matter of fact there are a lot of Oct fest people. You can look under Oct 7th surgery. Everyone on the sites are really nice. Wow my doctor had me start my liquids on the 26th. I had sort of a problem with my blood sugarsso I am 90% liquid lol.. I'd be glad to be your buddy maybe we can find some more Oct. 8th buddies. But like I said the October group is nice. And welcome

I am scheduled for Oct 8. I will have surgery at Fair Oaks hospital in Fairfax Virginia. I am getting really excited as the date gets nearer. Am finishing up my last pre op tests this week. See my surgeon Friday. Am not required to do the preop liquid diet, just watch what I eat before surgery. Looking forward to sharing experiences with all on this thread. Good luck to all having surgery on the 8th. Wishing us all a successful surgery, speedy recovery with few to no complications.

The diet is okay, I'm not hungry but still have cravings for real food. I get Protein shakes, broth, sugar free Jello and popsicles. Only problem is a Migraine which could be non-related.

Are you getting enough fluids? That can cause the headaches

The fluids are a really good point, no I'm not sure I am. I'll keep track of them tomorrow as I didn't today.

Carry a water bottle with you and just sip it all the time. It should help

      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.
