It was ok. Alf cup of dressing (if that much) & a nice slice of white turkey breast, chewed and ate very slow and savored it! I agree, worst day so far, but was so worth it. Hope I keep the sinus congestion away and tick on until 7 am MONDAY!!!!!

I enjoyed a chocolate mint shake in the morning, drank a cup of chicken bullion while the family ate turkey, and had no problem sticking to my liquid diet. I will be really glad when I get to eat again! I hope y'all had a merry Christmas!

Getting a cold! Coughing, little sinus drainage and slight sore throat. Praying it goes away and doesn't affect my surgery! I have tried to stay away from everyone so I wouldn't catch anything, .... just my luck!!!!! Send up some prayers!

. I am having some of the same issues! Not sure what to do! Can we take any meds? Are u gonna call the doc? Ugh. I don't want this to affect my surgery!

My Dr office closed at noon Christmas Eve and won't be open again until Mon. (but not before I have to be at hospital). Just trying the zinc losenges (NASTY) and Vitamin C drops and stay hydrated. I don't think my Dr will allow anything but Tylenol and that's not going to help!

I feel better today than yesterday for sure. It's mostly when I 1st wake up I trying to clear the drainage. My Dr is almost 3 hrs away so we are leaving Sunday and going to spend the night in a hotel. I think I am going to prop up to sleep that night and then before going to the hospital, get a nice hot shower and use one of those effervescent shower things. Used one this morning and it was HEAVEN!

Scheduled 12/29/14...I was given my surgery date on 12/19/14 and now on a 1000 calorie diet. I was told to do this in order to shrink the liver. I'm not sure if I've done well or not. For Christmas dinner, I ate a little more than I probably should, but I'll do all liquids for the next few days. I've heard stories of the surgent going in and the liver being too big to operate, so either the patients was closed up and sent back home to lose more weight, or the surgent did a complete open procedure. I dont watn either...I'll weigh myself tomorrow.

I'm a little nervous about all of it..more so going under... <_< :unsure:

But I'm excited..

      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.
