Just keep all reasons you started this journey in the front of your mind and keep reminding yourself you are worth it and deserve a new life without the barriers that morbid obesity put in front of you.

Don’t forget to pick up your post op medications, your waters and shakes.< br>My son prepared my gel with my Protein Water and that helps.
One super important thing “walk” and breath as your doctor and/or nurse suggested. Tomorrow I will have a week anniversary of surgery I did not suffer gas problems nor nausea and already without pain medication.

Hi

i prepare mini ice cubs of Isopure zero carb Water, I also use Isopure cold water preparing my Jello. Before surgery I taste each flavor in order to know the smell and taste I liked it.

And prepared my room with some liquids at night stand.

my doctor gave medication for after surgery and I picket it up from pharmacy before my surgery and made a list with instructions, I put numbers in my list related with numbers I put at each medical bottle.

Make sure you have your liquids for pre and post op... don't forget the sugar free popsicles! A friend have me a bottle of Biotene and I was so happy she did. After surgery you tend to have dry mouth and lips so pack some ChapStick! Breathe and relax. Before you know it, its over. Afterwards, walk, walk and walk even if you don't feel like it. You can thank me later! [emoji6][emoji23][emoji4]

      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.
