I can't believe it's only 3 weeks until surgery! I'm super excited to see how my life will change. Any other people having their surgery on April 7th?

I'm feeling ok. The gas pain is the worst. And also being scared that I won't get all my fluids in. I haven't been hungry at all. I've only had juice since I had surgery on Monday. Today I am going to try some Protein Shakes. The incisions don't hurt at all. I also had a hernia repaired that I didn't know I had. I will be glad when I can sleep on my sides. I've been forced to sleep on my back all the time. And I've had a terrible headache for some reason. Last night it woke me up a couple of times throbbing. The pain meds really help with any pain that I have and I'm tolerating liquids well with hardly and nausea at all. I had a little bit after surgery but not that much. I haven't thrown up at all. I do hate having to crush my meds to take them because boy are they awful!!! Now that does make me wanna throw up. But doc said only 2 weeks of that. I go for my first post op April 1st. So hopefully I will be moved to soft foods. Hope this helps a little.

      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?

      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.
