Harleyphleb-- how's it going?? I'm on my no/low carb diet. I'm having headaches, but I can do this! I'm sure I'm going to be tired of eggs, cheese, green veggies and chicken before this is over. I don't have much time to think about it with work thank goodness! Writing reviews, meeting with my team and interviewing for a promotion next week will keep me busy! Hope all is well with you!cant wait for the 17th!

Everything is good here blood work tomorrow and then just wait to hear what time to be at the hospital. I am a little concerned about Fluid intake after surgery. I get muscle cramps at night because of dehydration and I am drinking 80 oz of Water a day now. I am filled b with fluid so take a blood pressure pill with a reducer in it doesn't make sense but nothing ever does with me lol. I am up in the middle of the night right.jow writing this because of a muscle cramp so we shall see

I came home yesterday. Seems I had a lot of gallbladder scar tissue he had to remove, and that hurts. The only thing I'm struggling with is getting fluids down. I can feel when it gets to the opening of my new stomach and it hurts even with small sips. Today is better than yesterday.. That's my short term goal....each day be better than the last.

      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.
