Okay seriously… A bowel prep after three weeks of a liquid diet is kind of ridiculous. I got over half a gallon of the stuff left to drink and I was already "finished" after 20 minutes.

And less than 24 hours, I'll be on the losers bench! Crazy!

Good luck Melanie36 and Tiffanyaok. ???? Just keep in mind how you felt when you started this journey!

Had GB 2/10. My only surprise was I thought I would be on a 2 week liquid diet afterward, but it's actually 4 weeks!! I just want some Soup (no broth) for goodness sake...but no...4 weeks. I'll survive, but my tastebuds are dying for something other than artificial sweetener!! I guess I need to just shut it, because the weight is falling off. I'm 5 days postop and have lost 8lbs. YEA!

How was your pain level after GAPeach?

I will admit the first night was painful. I'm a stomach sleeper so sleeping on my back was different. I was drinking so much liquid I had to get up (with 6 stitched up places in my tummy) and go pee every hour. All of which added up to a terrible night. I should have taken the pain meds earlier! After the first night it has gotten better each additional. My tummy is just barely sore today.

You got this!!

      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.
