Hi im 6 days post-op and i feel like **** today im taking my Multivitamins and drinking plenty of liquids but i dont really know what to eat im feeling very regretful today.

Hi, I an also on my 6 day pre-op. On my 3rd day, I thought I was going to go crazy. Everybody around me was eating, it felt like they were eating all of my favorite fast foods. I literally almost broke down. I started crying saying why did I let myself get like this. I was extra hungry. Then I had a long talk with husband, looked at my grandkids and came back to senses. I'm still struggling a little, but I guess that's normal. You got this. You only have a couple more days left. I have surgery on Thursday. I am very nervous.

Hang in there. You'll be ok. Just keep reminding yourself the reason why you decided to take this journey. The best is yet to come.

You're doing fine! I'm 6 days post op too and totally understand what you're feeling! Get some rest if you're feeling tired, go for a walk if you're feeling anxious, maybe binge watch some vsg youtube videos if you just feel like you can't do anything else.

On top of Water, low cal drink mixes, and Protein Shakes, I've enjoyed sugar free Jello, greek yogurt, and Soups so far! Tomorrow I get to start pureed food and Shelly's Baked Ricotta is high on the list of things I'd like to try. We'll get through this. We had an idea of what we were getting into and we knew that we needed a big change to help get ourselves to where we want to be. Let's work towards that and remember that the unpleasant things we're feeling now are temporary.

      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.
