I'm on Tuesday too. I'm so looking forward to having broth instead of Protein Drinks. I had to switch to soy Friday. Soy Protein is gross. Just getting through.

Today is Sunday, and I will be discharged from the hospital in the next few hours. My surgery was on Friday morning.

I did not feel any nausea, so I was quickly moved to Clear Liquids. However, I had my brother bring me about 4oz of organic consomme I had made in days previous, and an organic herbal tea bag. The Lipton and god only knows powdered bullion they offered me does not cut it

just went through hurricane Irma this weekend, no power or Water, and my surgery is on Friday. I am so totally freaked right now. Guess we'll have to stay in a hotel the night before so I can shower Thursday night and again on Friday morning with that special soap they give us. Been so busy buying hurricane supplies I have totally blanked on what I need to be getting for my stay in the hospital and Protein drinks for when I come home.

Dear Lord let the power come on before Thursday.

Ugh. So sorry you had to go through that this week. Hope things are going much smoother by the time Friday rolls around.

I report to ambulatory surgery at 7:15 tomorrow morning. I am so ready for this 15 month saga to be over and for the next stage to begin. It has been a long haul but just several more hours and I can see where it goes from there.

      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.
