My Dr won't do it if you're under the weather in any way. Loss up on the zicam zinc melt away tablets, they work wonders along with some Echinacea tea

The hospital told me to only brush my teeth and take my meds with a sip of water...nothing else for 12 hrs before surgery. No gum, mints or anything the morning of. If I did have any of that, it would delay or cancel my surgery.

I am very happy for you @@FortKnox78 my surgery is Monday and it seems very far away i haven't had any problems with the liquid diet just fighting a cold that's trying to come. My surgeon told me to drink Thera flu i hope it works don't to push surgery back question your allowed to drink b4 surgery? I was told nothing after midnight the day b4

Hey, I read about these Vitamins that you can get from a patch. They are supposed to be great for bariatric patients. I'm so darn excited. I ordered the multi and the B-12. A few less pills is a good thing!

Wow! good for you for taking it so well! I would have had a meltdown lol after all the waiting. I am scheduled for thd 30th. Just trying not to catch a cold of anything between now and then! Does anyone know if you can have low sodium regular V8 juice on your preop diet. I can't get ahold of my nutritionist. She said sugar free juice and vegatable broth and it meets those criteria.

Home finally, feeling great, lots of fluids in and day 2 of my Clear Liquids. I'm also getting about 30-40 mins of walking in each day too.

The only thing that freaks me out is I never feel hunger... I've had nothing but Water or enhanced water with Protein & Fiber from Wal-Mart but I'm feeling fine.

I'm on my 3rd day of my pre Op diet. My sleeve will be done on the 30th of March. The liquid diet is going well, it's just seems like time is moving slow. Excited and scared, worried about gas pains after its done. Good luck with everyone being sleeved in March. Is anyone else being sleeved the 30th ?

I'm getting my sleeve on March 30 too! I just started my pre op liquid diet today. I feel like I'm doing mental calisthenics making sure I want to do this. Yes I do! I just want to have little or no complications. And it seems like each person is so different in their experiences. Hope your liquid diet goes by quickly.

      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.
