Well all went well 12/2! I am three days out and feeling great. Word to those coming up....ask for pain meds as soon as you can and walk to get the gas out. Its the worst. Pop a gas x strip immediately. Best wishes!!!

I'm glad you're feeling great. I feel miserable I'm actually second guessing myself right now! I'm in Houston as well. What type of things are you eating right now? If you don't mind me asking what Dr did you go through

I used Dr. Hollis. He is fantastic. I haven't hit my 64 oz liquids yet but I am close. I keep a tervis tumbler of crystal light in hand at all times and sip sip every ten minutes. For Breakfast I made my Protein Shake with 6 oz of Water and took 30 minutes to get it all down. Took my kids to lunch and had the broth from wonton Soup. I also drank a cup go hot tea this afternoon. Today I was out and about for about three hours and that wore me out. There is a few FB groups that are great.

I am on day 11 pre-op diet, liquids only. I went to the hospital today for my pre-op, my surgery is on the 10th one day and one wake-up. My question is, has anyone gained weight on the liquid? I gained six lbs. and i have not cheated once. the only thing that i can think of is the broth, it is sooooo full of sodium. I was so depressed i almost call off my surgery. But, it has taken me 4 months to get here. I just don't understand. My heart was broken. Someone please tell me this is going to work for me. Am i going to gain weight on this sleeve surgery?

      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.
