First post but I've been lurking for some time. Getting a little nervous. I start liquid diet on the 17th with pre-op visit on 18th. I'm sure I will be spending more time with all of you on this journey.

Sorry for late update. It went great but I almost wound up in ICU for my blood pressure being very high. They got that fixed but I will admit last night was rough.

Im home now and kinda feeling sorry for myself for even doing this. But Im sure as soon as I can get all the meds they gave me out of my system I will change that attitude very quickly.

I do fell a LOT better today. The doctor told my and I that my stomach was very elongated from the abuse I've given it over the years.

If anyone has any questions I will gladly answer them.

      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.
