Thats a huge worry for me I read so many post and getting the Water down the first few days is hard for a lot of people. Glad to hear from you. I will be on the other side of this journey with you in a few weeks. Congrats to a speedy recovery ????

I finally have less than 24 hrs. I think I am a bit concerned about almost everything. ???? I have 2 broken bones in my foot - that ought to make things interesting. At least I am down to an air cast, easier than that darn hard cast. I am so ready - hope everyone is feeling better today!

Getting the Water in is hard but I was told it gets easier after day 3 or 4. Good luck to everyone going tomorrow.

I can say that getting the Water in gets easier and easier. My surgery was 12/4 and I am able to drink water exactly like I did before surgery and have been for over a week. Hang in there - it will get better before you know it.

After being caught in a Catch 22 between my surgeon and my PCP I finally today got my surgery date. Jan 26 2 days after my 60th birthday. I was beginning to think I would never get the surgery.

Hope everyone who had surgery today is doing good.

Just got insurance approval today. Surgery scheduled for January 4. I can't decide if I am thrilled or terrified.

congrats. Right around the corner. I'm Jan 20th.

I dont know if I'm thrilled or terrified either. Reading people having a difficult time getting fluids down post op to losing and feeling great to then reading sleevers gaining a year or 2 out. I"m ready to have this tool though. I'm tired of being tired.

Surprisingly pretty good. I just want food sooo bad. Soo i got some tomatoe bisque and butter nut squash on some days. Premier Protein is my friend. Goes down the best. Learning to mix my Water and i can handle it better. Havent got all my Protein in yet...per day like 40 grams...i need 60...but by 8pm...im so full. I put some jeans that were super tight on this morn bc i had to go in office and thry just slid on. I super smiled. So excited in this process.

      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.
