Same With me had to repair hernia

But recovery is not bad.

Some discomfort on left side of stomach than any other area.

Now on day 4 and I am addicted to popsicles and Soups from Chinese restaurants. So delicious and satisfying

Oh and I add one or half a scoop of chicken flavor injury to my Soup to get my Protein and it actually gives a lot more flavor.

I figured out a way to easily monitor my Protein intake without guessing if I am getting enough.

The cups shown above holds 2 oz of liquid so

I poured my Isopure of the day in each cup

A full bottle = 10 cups

So every hour or 30 min I drink a cup

I also am doing this with my Water.

I think this is an easy way for me to keep track so I thought I share.

my surgery date is 12/16: went to preop today and they said I lost too much weight. I am a low bmi person. However I have crazy diabetes 2. They said I had to get blood sugars down to have surgery, I got them down and lost weight hence lower bmi. I started crying! They offered to change the date, asked me to gain weight in a couple of days etc. THEN my doctor came in, he said it's fine. my starting weight is what counts and I got approved with insurance based on that. Doc said you followed my diet and this is part of the program. Insurance companies really need to change especially with the comorbidity issues. I am getting surgery to help control my blood sugars. Weight loss will be a side effect. Passed EKG, urine test, blood tests and next week I get a sleeve and gallbladder removal. Also may fix my hiatal hernia and biopsy liver from any damage from my diabetes medications. All I can say is don't give up - so many hurdles and it is not over till surgery is done and I'm on my journey. For now no exercise, and Protein Shakes to maintain my weight. Thanks for listening - I'm officially cuckoo!!

My mom said she bought them from the dollar tree.

If none, then try Walmart or any store you buy cups for Jell-O shots

      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.
