Grandma2tweeties - Yes, I did do the pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks. Didn't lose as much as I've seen others lose on here but lost 7 lbs the first week and 4 the 2nd. But like the Dr said, when in my life have I ever lost 11 lbs in two weeks. Answer: NEVER!! I'll weigh myself tomorrow to see how I've done this week.

Pretty black dress: Glad it helps! I can tell you, tomorrow is a week since my surgery and I am beyond pleased with how good I feel! I've only had pain (and even that is very slight) from one incision and today that is almost gone. I've had no problems moving or walking. Even went to the mall with a friend and walked around yesterday. Best of luck and I hope your surgery and recovery go well!

Kafallin thanks you do inspire and ease my nerves. Did you get nervous when you were getting close to preop dr date. When you knew it was becoming a reality even though it's what you wanted so bad!

So glad to hear you're doing so well at one week post-op. I'm 3 days post-op and still a bit uncomfortable. I have one incision that's bugging me, the rest feel good.

Grandma2tweeties: I didn't really get nervous until the day before when I was doing laundry and packing! And oddly enough, I wasn't nervous the day of after I got to the hospital. I really didn't have much time...I was in surgery about an hour & 15 mins after I arrived.

Kafallin. I'm also of some of my meds do to a mail order pharmacy mess up. Mr dr told me I'd be extra anxious and shaking and easily annoyed. Kinda of sucks in timing. Might be for the best less meds to have during surgery times will be needed too

      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.
