@browneyez, no surprise to me, I knew all along you'd sail⛵right through. You're quality, you know, often the best man for a job is a woman anyway! Now do your sipping, walking, and healing and be a good influence on me!😝

Yes it is. I can't wait to have a sip of anything...my throat feels like sandpaper! Overall I feel pretty good!

Good morning! I'm going for my x-ray to make sure there are no leaks and then I'll start sipping. Once they determine I can hold liquids, I'm going home. I've had minimal gas pains and slept pretty well...except they wake you every three hours to check your vitals. I pray I continue to feel this good.

      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.
