Caltrate makes a chewable Calcium. But my Dr said to wait till I'm one month postop to take.

The dizzy spells are most likely caused by low blood pressure which is a result of dehydration. As you drink more fluids that will pass. I experienced the same problem and that is what my doctor told me.

I meet with my surgeon today! 10 day Post-op check up. I'm so excited to weigh in and see results. Also I'm so excited to eat pureed!!!!

My liquid diet was 3 weeks pre surgery, so it's literally been like a month and a half since I've used my teeth! I'm dreaming about what to try first.... Have y'all moved on to purée? If so, what was the first thing you had and how did it go?

Am I the last Feburary person? Tomorrow is the day. Only a one day liquid diet..but even with that I was allowed to have Breakfast. Cold is still hanging on but nurse at hospital wasn't concerned either. I call today to get my surgery time. It's going to be so much fun coughing and sneezing after surgery. But I never do things the easy way. :)

      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.
