Day 3 for me. Better than I expected, no major headaches, but I have been working long hours at work to get my project off the ground before I take leave for surgery, so no time to really think about it. My stomach is giving me a bit of a fit right now and my head says that I would kill for a hamburger but I am determined to power through this.

I'm still fighting this headache. Starting to wonder if it's a sinus issue. I am also battling stomach issues right now. I've started adding Fiber to my Protein Shakes and hopefully that'll help out. I am down 11 lbs since starting the pre op diet.

So sorry to hear that you are still having headaches but congratulations on the weight loss. I am waiting until it's been a week before I step on my scale. Definitely getting about 1000 calories everyday. Gotta find something to do today to keep my mind and hands busy. I have a feeling that I will be making a lot of paracord bracelets today's report become immersed in a video game.

I thought the weekend would fly by like they normally do. Being home my mind is all about the food in my cabinets and fridge. It was much easier fighting this battle at work! I am only allowed between 500 to 700 calories. It's brutal.

Well my surgery had to be aborted. I have 3 laparoscopic holes in me. They couldn't inflate my abdomen enough to operate safely. I'll see the surgeon in 2 weeks to regroup and decide what's next.

I am so sorry! I've not heard of this before. Did they say why it happened?

      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.
