Ok get that out of your mind "NO FOOD" sure it's hard the first couple of days. But when you get the right stuff to satisfy you it gets easy, Get your perimeir Protein Drink or Protein Powder w/whey, Jello, chicken bullion cubes, sugar-free Popsicle, gator aid, Have something every hour. You'll fly thought it. As for your husband, I had to cook for my but what I did was made a pot of something (spaghetti, chicken noodle etc.) got some containers put serving in them and when time came to eat he takes one out pop it the microwave. He understand and won't eat around me.

Stay prayerful

Good Morning

Im having my surgery on July 19,2018. Just wondering if any one else is having their surgery in July? Just want someone to talk to about the stress of surgery and excitement

Hi first off I want to say good luck and your doing a great thing for yourself and your family. I had surgery 7/11/18 so that makes me 5 days post op. I won't lie to you this is the hardest thing I have ever done and I have had 3 children naturally. The gas pain and tightness around the incision site are extremely tender. Getting your Water, Protein and Vitamins in are doable yet difficult at times from possible nausea.

Then to top it all off the day I got home I get my period a week early .(Oh JOY lol)

But Coco with all the little things it is worth it. You are not making a mistake because food has become unmanageable for us and to save our lives we have to make drastic changes. I wish you the best my friend and praying for a speedy recovery and remember Walk walk walk!!!! xoxo

My doctor requires a liquid diet for 2 weeks and I notice a lot of variations with the pre surgical diet.. I have to say 12 days no sugar is a blessing for me... I diet not stick truly to the liquid diet when I felt I was going to pass out!!! I did eat my 4 ounce low fat cottage cheese, some egg whites, egg drop Soup, and liquid grits.. my mother had roux n y 10 years ago and is very successful and didn’t have to go thru the liquid diet... only a 3 day liquid diet... I have to say it has prepped me for Wednesday and the next 2 weeks for liquids only.. I’m looking forward to full liquids.. the crazy thing is that I’m not craving sweets... I want a piece of chicken 🍗 , a cheese stick, a boiled egg 🥚 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just wanted to send out good vibes to everyone having surgery this week. I’ve had other surgeries and was very nervous about this one. It is turning out well. Best of luck to all of you!

      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.
