My surgeon's practice says "thin" liquids and I can kind of see that. Some of the stuff you can eat during the "full" liquid phase doesn't seem very liquidity to me.

But they also say "anything that can go up a straw" and you can make a lot go up a straw. :blink:

Hehehe, so true. My surgeon said they actually had people eating CAKE BATTER because they could get it up a straw. Many were impressed with what they could get to go up a straw. The surgeons not so much. :tongue2:

First thing I wondered was if the headache was due to detox.

Now, do I *really* want to read the prostitution thread?? Hmmmm

not really ... **yawn**

Good morning everyone! LJM, make hubby give you a massage, you deserve the pampering right now.

I am enjoying reading everyone's responses in the prostitution thread. I am also behaving myself and refraining from posting.

Day two of the five day pouch test. Why am I doing this to myself? I hate liquids only, I am starving and have a massive headache. Something tells me by dinner tonight I am going to cave.

oh, Susan, you can eat on the pouch test, didnt you know that? i did it and as you can see, i'm FINE... trust me - even though i'm no doctor or any medical professional

Hehehe, so true. My surgeon said they actually had people eating CAKE BATTER because they could get it up a straw. Many were impressed with what they could get to go up a straw. The surgeons not so much. :tt1:

and these people just had WEIGHT LOSS surgery? what a brilliant idea!!! :wub:

Okay, I need your help. You guys are always so full of widsom and advice so I'm hoping you can help.

First of all, I'm a night person. I get more done at night and would rather work that way; however, I start nursing school in two weeks and have to be up before 5 a.m. to get to clinicals several times a week. During the holidays I got totally out of whack staying up late and then sleeping in.

My plan was to get back on track when my kids went back to school. So I thought I'd get up at 6 a.m. this week and then next week go to 5 a.m. to try to ease into it. It's not working!!! I haven't been able to sleep the last two nights. I was really tired last night since getting up early, but couldn't sleep. I tried one Tylenol PM and I slept worse and didn't feel rested at all. :wub:

So who has an old family remedy or advice on how to switch back and get back into the swing of things. I feel terrrible today and have no energy. My head is killing me. I have tons of stuff to do, but I'm dragging! Thanks for your input!!

Bea,

I really like the Sleepy Time Tea.. its so wonderful. I don't really have trouble falling asleep right away though.

I get up at 3 or 4 am depending if I need to do my workout in the am and have been doing it for years. Maybe it'll just take some time to work itself out?

Best wishes!

bea, i start school back up on thursday (only 2 courses) - however i am an early bird...DH is the night owl.

for him tylenol PM does work when he needs it - otherwise a good workout knocks him out earlier in the evening than without. when he is not exercising on a regular basis - he's up later & later.......he's been off for 2wks so far and has hit the gym almost everyday - in bed by 11 or 12...which is EARLY for him!.

Sometimes I don't even go to bed until 3 or 4 AM. What time do you go to bed?

      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.
