Thank you Kate! I received your virtual hug and return it in abundance. And ditto, you are one of the nicest, funniest people on here. Thank you for your words of support, they mean a lot!

Waiting for the doctor to get my first update. I'm still astounded that I haven't eaten anything since Monday, and that was Clear liquids only, nothing after midnight, and yet I'm not hungry or thirsty. All these things I expected but stiff astounding when it's you.

How are you doing at home now?

Good Luck!!

You are going to do great! Don't forget to walk walk walk, sip sip sip!

Can't wait to hear back from you when you feel up to it!

glad to know it's going well for you!!hope your home soon!

      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.
