And I feel AMAZING! I showered, styled hair and got dressed without needing to rest! Had a Protein Shake and ran to store for some yoga pants to wear back to work, came home and mopped kitchen floor, mopped wooden floors and vacuumed and haven't had to take a break at all! My energy is high and hunger is non-existent! I KNOW--it's too good to be true, except it really is true!! Last Tuesday I thought I was gonna die, but I've turned the corner to my new life and I LOVE it!!!!

Yes!! I was the same way- the first 2-3 days I seriously thought I had made the biggest mistake ever... then within 12 hours of being home.. I was like you. I had surgery on a Monday and cooked my whole family dinner on Thursday night. I was cleaning house and everything from there on out. It was like a switch had been flipped. So those of you about to go through surgery, remember these stories... it does get better. And you will wake up one day and feel AMAZING :)

      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.
