I have the headaches too! I’m not hungry at this point but it’s getting harder to drink my required Protein. And I’d usually take excedrin for the headaches but I know the rule is Tylenol. Which sucks because Tylenol has never in the history of ever worked for any kind of headache or pains I’ve had 🤦🏽‍♀️ Good luck! We’re almost at the finish line to start our new lives

You’ll be out of this liquid misery a little sooner than me, lol. June 27th sounds like a great day for a rebirth 🙂 My surgeon says 3:15pm but the hospital said they have to call me the day before to give me my actual time because surgery times often change for earlier than originally anticipated

It’s to a point that the smell of food makes me nauseous for some reason. Like I have to leave the room until the smell airs out. And I can’t lie, I’m a little cranky because I miss the ability to chew 😩 and if one more person calls me talking about the delicious meal they just had I’m going to explode! 🤯
Omg, this is so my husband. He's so nice to not eat in front of me, but he's talking about food all the time, unknowingly I suspect. I just say, yes dear, sound great, wish I could sympathize but nope, let me just drink my meal , or even offer him a sip.

I’d die, like all of that stuff sounds amazing right now. But I’m glad you’ve been able to stay on the straight and narrow. I’ve had people telling me it’s okay to cheat a little. I’m like “nope, I take this surgery and this diet very seriously. I will not cheat!” And I haven’t, I’m proud really, lol
That's the way I am, I figure I started this in December and I'm just a idle over a week to go, I can do this!! Looking at the big picture when I get to the other side. Glad you're able to do this struck by the diet, prepping us for after surgery.

It gets better, I'm off Alieve too. They told me Tylenol too which doesn't work as well. Good luck

I’m gonna be late July/early August. I’m brand new here. I’m meeting the surgeon July 3rd for my consult. I’d love to have some surgery buddies along for the ride.

Congrats and keep us posted on your date. This is the right to make some surgery buddies. There is even a list (which you can find on page 19) that has all of the members and their dates and tentative dates

Just FYI the struggle is real. Earlier today I sipped too much Water too fast and almost threw up.

      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.
