I miss my coffee

I do too. I've gotten used to Decaf and have been on the fence about whether going back to caffeine or not.

I have been on full decaf for a couple days. I feel like I need the kick start from the caffeine in the morning, but I may stick it out if I get used to not having it. I am not having any headaches so I am glad I decided to step down and not switch cold turkey.

That means you have to go all day with nothing to drink. When i had my hysterectomy it was 12 noon and it was hard. I would stay up late so you can sleep in longer then it won't bother you as much.

Aw shucks. That's a pain. I'd sleep as much as possible too.

I don't know what time my surgery will be yet, but I am guessing it will be early since we are flying in the day before. I am praying I will be the first one of the day.

How did everyone do with their diets today? I felt better today and not as hungry at lunch time. I had tuna and a salad for dinner.

I haven't gone grocery shopping. Mainly cause my kids won't eat what I cook and I can't cook for a lack of kitchen (still renovating). I want to cook pretty bad, but it might be another few weeks. For now I use my table to prep what little I could do. All that to say, I am supposed to have veggies with my meat for dinner. I got full real quick off of a few ounces of meat. I couldn't even fathom having veggies too. I was never a big eater to start with (a small children's plate would be my norm), but the quality got me in trouble. Anyone find they're getting fuller much quicker than before?

      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.
