Hi,

I am also on Nov. 4th. Just started the liquid pre-op diet yesterday. I'm hungry. My only worry about the surgery is the nausea. General Anesthesia always makes me pukey!

Me too! Anesthesia and pain killers. I swore I'd never have surgery again but this is important.

I agree about the pain killers too. Am hoping to get scopolamine patch and put on the night before. Also going to tell them I don't want narcotic pain meds. There are other alternatives. I am in Wisconsin, where are you?

I live in Florida but I'm having my surgery in Mexico. I've already asked about not using narcotics and they said it wouldn't be a problem. Also, the surgeon prefers we walk to alleviate pain. I'm all for natural remedies!

As far as nausea after anesthesia, just ask the doctor to put some of the anti-nausea medication in your IV. I told them about how I got sick one time after surgery (different situation than WLS) and the surgeon made sure the anesthesiologist put the anti-nausea meds into the IV drip. Solved all problems there.

I'm on my 5th (of 14) pre-op diet day. The first four days were a bear and a half. I was starving!! All I'm allowed is up to four Protein shakes and Clear liquids (broth, sugar free popsicles, etc.) and I couldn't stop eating popsicles, sugar-free Jello, etc. and it wasn't calming things down. Thankfully day 5 has been so much better!!

I went through days of battling my own mental battles about having WLS even after getting myself ready for it all. I found I wasn't prepared for the drastic reduction in intake. But it has gotten better and now I know I can do this!!

November 4th is my main focus---the day of surgery!! and start of a new frontier.

      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.
