Thank you! I was in and out pretty quickly. And doing really well today! My pain is managed well just had some nauseous and a little dry heaving. Tomorrow they check the staple line and I'll be allowed to start liquids.< br>

Completely understandable! But honestly this process has been amazing for me. It's rough for a short time but so far very much life changing :-)

I had to get one several years ago and thankfully I don’t have to get another one. I can’t wait until all the process is over as well. I was never much of a cook and sometimes I find myself getting discouraged trying to find healthy decent things to make. Wish you the best for your sleep study.

Thank you, I'm not much of a cook either, so making healthy food decisions is going to be a challenge for me as well...LOL.

      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.
