Yea I think day 3 is good most say, I'm sticking to Soup it seems to agree with my new stomach more than Water, I take a few sips here and there...like I said we are going to get through it this is just temporary!!!

I was out and about yesterday I didnt get a chance to get on until now, I think the nausea has passed YAAAYYY, I'm still sipping Soup w/protein and crystal light with Protein which is very nasty so I won't be doing that again, the chicken broth is the only Protein I have been able to tolerate I have my first appointment on tomorrow...I am back to work good thing I sit all day, cuz I would not be here, I don;t have enough leave to stay home, but I am feeling better and the last I looked at the scale I have dropped a total of 17 pounds, I'll take it, I dont see any difference but in my face woo-hoo!! Still a little gassy but the Gas-X takes care of that I can't wait to go home though and climb into my bed I have brought a measuring cup to work so that I can stay on track I feel like I do way better at work than at home because my kids do not give me a break and I often get distracted tending to them and even with another person in the house to assist them they still want "Mom" to do it, ugh...one day at a time I know it will get better and this will all be worth it!!!

Congratulations, that's so awesome! Your doing great. Yes, it's totally a day by day thing. You sound our your adjusting well back into a regular routine. I understand your kids needing help with everything, my kids want to be all over me and it's so hard not to pick them up, but my decision was to make sure I'm always here to pick them up, run, or anything with them.. Keep up the good work, x's!

I share your pain and pray that God helps you through this, I recently lost my mother in January she died of heart disease she had multiple other illnesses high blood pressure, diabetes, GERD, COPD, ulcer and morbidly obese. We both lived care free lives not putting to much thought into being healthy. After all I knew many of plus size women right? But it took my mother's death and not just that but actually reading her extremely thick medical record for my own wake up call. So here I am determined and often reminded of her as I'm often reminded of health and how hers could of improved had she had a surgery like this. But God knows best. Be encouraged your not alone

      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.
