yes it is very uncomfortablee my back and stomach hurt the nauseous feeling sucks. as far as payment my cobra takes effect next week. all money i spent will be reimbursed. how long till i feel normal again thats the question

Two weeks. Two weeks is the answer for everything from how long is my pre op diet to how long do I have to do purée food to how long till I feel normal.

Kidding. Sort of. It will get better little by latte after about the first three days which are hard! Hang in there!

Please take the shots - it's too dangerous not to.

Yikes. Can they give you something cheaper? Ask your surgeon - blood clots are not something you can risk.

      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.
