I'm too cranky to figure it out!

I so get that!! I just poured a cup of Decaf tea! Try it! It's very soothing!

The lack of real food is getting to me, even though, having been sick, I'm not terribly hungry. @@cjd2010 I hear ya! I've been laying awake in bed the last two nights kinda freaking out about everything, questioning it all. It's strange, because I've wanted this for so long!

October 13th here.

Trying to keep moving and not dwell on it.



Acquiring all the supplements, Protein, New Balance slip-on sneakers and such.

Ordered a couple memory foam body pillows.

Bought a new recliner two weeks ago. Planning on sleeping in it the first few days. Gonna be sore from a massive abdominal hernia & hiatal hernia he'll be repairing when he does the sleeve. The recliner is made for big & tall guys and is much easier to stand up from.

I want to be moving around as much as possible....constantly sipping on Water will ensure this. I didn't want to be getting in and out of bed so much like I did with the last two abdominal hernia repairs. They were both open type procedures. Hoping that this time things will go easier due to laparoscopic method.

@@Mega_100 I know, it's terrible. Scary feelings.

Well, I got a little more excited when I got on the scale and saw I had lost 5 lbs in 2 days!

@@Reckless Moxie, I took a One A Day Multivitamin with Energy (B12) and legit didn't need coffee today--maybe that could help you. Three and a half hours later and I'm still good!

Hi all...my date is on October 15...I'm super excited to start this adventure. I also would like to join the Facebook group, I think we all need to support each other. I don't personally know anyone that has had this procedure, so going thru this with others is really helping!

I am on the 15th also. On my 3rd day of liquid diet. Today has been better. Not hungry, but I do want to eat solid food more out of habit, but at least I am not hungry. Have woke up with headaches past 2 mornings. I immediately grab a bottle of Water and Protein Drink and that sees to help.

      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.
