Yes ma'am .. it takes me all day to get in maybe 20 oz of Water and 12 oz of Protein Drink ( 30 mg). I'm still trying my best. I am still sore and gas pains gone but my belly feels it's really , really small. I have not felt sick since discharge but today I feel really sick and weak today. I became nauseated when I drank some of my Protein Shake and then I just became sick. I will be okay. We both will. We are still healing. I have been able to use bathroom after taking dulcolax. So that's good because I was very constipated. I just don't feel good today ????????????

@@Dknal2 I am drinking the Isopure Protein Drinks and omg! It takes me past 8 pm (and I start at 8 am) to finish it. I am still sore and gas pains are still here! Hope you are doing better than me.

My VSG will be on December 21st.

I've never had surgery before. I'm sooooo nervous!

Trying think of it like an extremely expensive Christmas gift to myself. A gift that will allow me to live longer, with more joy and less limitations.

I had a scare. My potassium levels were low due to my having to take a diuretic for swelling from lymphedema, and m doctor wanted to cancel my December 20th surgery.. I had to go off the diuretic starting Saturday, and I got retested yesterday. I put as much potassium-rich foods in my system, and I was lucky to have my numbers back up. I pray nothing gets in the way now.

Definitely stop taking the diuretic, and continue eating the foods high in potassium. Mine was low for the same reason, and the morning of my surgery they delayed me and gave me two potassium drips to get it up to surgery levels in order to continue. My discharge instructions they took me off the diuretic. Keep following their orders.

      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.
