Thanks, Brian. I am scheduled for Tuesday morning. Getting nervous going over the food progression. Those first 2-3 weeks are going to be very tough. BUT I want this, so will do it. I've done very well on my 14 day Protein fast. Tomorrow is all liquids. Nervous. How is everyone else feeling?

Hey everyone i'm doing ok. Third day post op not feeling too bad as long as I take the correct amount of pain med I suppose to. I was using the wrong measuring cup for my pain meds that sucked but all better now. Hope everyone is doing great and anyone coming up best of luck. I'll be thinking of you. Brian

I got discharged last night. Pain hasn't been as bad as my gallbladder removal which is nice. Getting liquids in has been tough but easier every day. I find I prefer Water to everything else - crystal light and Jello are extremely sweet to me now.

Otherwise, all is good. Gas is insane. Swirling around in me like there's a thunderstorm going on in there. Gas x helps but I'm looking forward to that being gone!

      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.
