Okay... so I'm day 2 of the liquid diet and feeling pretty good. I fly out tomorrow morning, Tuesday. Nervous and excited at the same time. Can't wait to hear from those of you scheduled this week. Praying and believing all goes well during and after for all of us!

Safe travels and thinking good, healthy thoughts for Wednesday! :) See you on the flip side. Whoop!

Well we are 14 hours post op. Leak test tomorrow. Lots of gas. Remember your gas medicine! Ouch. We have walked some and can only have ice chips. Looking forward to popsicles and gatorade after leak test. Tijuana is beautiful and the people are so nice. We hope to come back for a family vacation sometime. Yea! We are sleeved.

      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.
