Take it slow. One moment at a time. Ask for what you need. From everyone. Try not to be surprised by anything. Welcome to the beginning :-)

@@Jkpizano5, congratulations! I wish you a speedy recovery.

The best advice anyone can give you is to walk, sip and walk again!

No matter how uncomfortable you might be, get up and walk walk walk. It will ensure the gas they use leaves your body faster and with it most of the pain will be gone.

Sipping fluids helps keep you hydrated which is very important during this phase. Hydration is critical to a speedy recovery.

Good luck today! Sending prayers and warm thoughts your 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.
