Good luck ladies. I'm too excited to sleep. I go in at 7/730 AZ time. Still have some nervous doubts but I'm confident everything will be alright.

May God's hands be on all of us today & may the surgeons and staff be on too of our game. May our anesthesia and drugs be great! But our recovery and progress better.

Yesterday was rough! Nutritionally I'm doing well. Had my surgery 1 week ago today and I'm down 5lbs, so happy about that! But about this energy thing - what's up with that! I folded half a basket of laundry and then had to rest up to take a shower. My hubby told me I'm over-doing it but, compared to normal me, I'm really doing nothing! Please tell me my energy level will improve soon!

I am a couple days short of being two weeks post op. Threw up for the first time since leaving the hospital. It was totally my fault. Was in a hurry to make an appointment and tried to quickly take my BP med the "choke" down those nasty chewable vitamins I take in the morning. I have to learn to slow down. As a result lost my Protein and Water. Starting over at a slower pace, but I'm skipping my morning Vitamins. Thank god this liquid phase is almost over.

Just checking in with you guys to see how it went ? I am barely tolerating a few bites of Jello. It tastes really sweet. Mostly ice chips and tea for me.

Doing okay with Water, water with mio, sugar free Popsicles. Just had two oz broth and doing okay. Headache comes and goes, just keep sipping fluids. I know next week will be better.

Yeah my headache comes and goes too. I've been able to get some ice chips down, about 3oz of chicken broth and am now sipping on about an oz of tea. Not too bad, aside from the heart burn its giving me and I've been having a pain in my chest (left side) so they are calling the doc about that.

      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.
