I just decided to have surgery 3 days ago so I can’t provide advice but I am SO excited for you! Good luck!

Congrats, the first 24 hours are the worst. Dedicate yourself to getting to 4oz of liquid an hour as fast as you reasonably can so you can be discharged.

Congratulations, my advice would be to start walking as soon as you can. It helps with the healing process and get rid of the gas you will experience. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Cheers

Hey all!
Surgery went great without and issues! But let me tell you gas pains are no joke lol. I've been able to walk more now that the anesthesia/pain meds are working its was out of my system. I'm struggling to get fluids in but I'm doing better. Thanks again for the kind words :)

      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.
