Hello Everyone,

I am 4 days from surgery (3/25). I am struggling with this pre-op diet. I am finding that I need to eat during lunch, but I can do the shake for dinner. Also, I am tired and I have the worst headaches. I plan to do all liquids on Monday and Tuesday. I hope I make it.

Had my pre-op appointment. They took blood, chest x-rays, urine sample, and EKG.

I plan to pack for the hospital this weekend, and finish shopping for all my food and supplies.

I am so ready to get the surgery and begin my new life.

Good luck to the rest of you March Sleevers!

Mo

Day 3 Post-Op and I'm feeling great!
To be honest, I'm rather surprised based on things that I've read and people that I've talked to that have had the same surgery.
Many were saying they were very tired, still in pain, etc, but not here...
I'm still on Clear Liquids through the rest of the day today (mainly just had Water or water with a Protein & Fiber enhancement in it) but feeling really good, lots of energy.
I was able to get back to my "norm", ran some errands this morning, got about 30 mins of walking in, was sure to keep my water bottle with me and sip sip sip smile emoticon

Chrystee, I have only used my pain meds at night just as a precaution, because I tend to move around a lot in my sleep and try to sleep on my tummy. Other than that, nope, no need.

      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.
