I'm July 16th. In hospital I felt like a champ. No real issues. Just sore. I've lost 13 lbs thus far. Since coming off pain med, i feel like I've down a thousand crunches. Sore. My taste buds have changed. I don't like anything too sweet. I have to really focus on getting my protien and Water in. My wounds are healing nice. Still itchy from steri strips.

July 17th here. No real issues. First few days was very uncomfortable, but much much better now. Just have to stay on myself to keep on top of my fluids. Able to get Protein in.

On the two week "liquid preparation" stage to advance to "flakey foods". Never thought the Water hydration thing would be a challenge. Had to get a nalgene water bottle with actual measurements. The biggest challenge I guess is staying positive. It is helpful to connect with others that are going through the experience. For some reason just feeling flat... My doctor warned me about this. With the weight loss and changes, there would be fluctuations in hormones. Also my family piece. I'm not sitting at the dinner table with them or having meals. Its weird. But I am cooking them. Cooking food I am not eating is strange. With the Protein those shakes from costco are helping me. They have 30 of protein and 5 carbs per shake. So two a day and I am 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.
