I’m about to board the plane for San Diego for my surgery tomorrow at BariatricPal MX with Dr. Jalil Ilian. Surprisingly not at all hungry on Clear Liquids.

Home and in my own bed. Pain is pretty much minimal, almost gone. I can't imagine eating anything. Sipping is a little challenging because all I want to do is sleep! Walking and bending are easy though.

yea I an an April 1 surgery too. sipping small enough is a challenge for me. and yes I am so tired.

I am not really in pain, just have trouble getting comfortable.

I am not getting in all my Protein yet, but attempting to get Water in. I hear that staves off nausea.

Keep updating! Hope you and I are just a little better tomorrow

Me too, I am sending you best wishes too. As for me, I finally released some gas today, apparently that's a milestone and a big deal. Just sipping, walking and sleeping. The worst part of this is just the boredom. Laying around, thinking about Protein and dehydration, or reading. I like the idea of eating "real food", but tbh if a whole platter of Chinese food was in front of me I wouldn't want it. Before surgery, Chinese food was my favorite food, my total downfall, lol! Now I don't know what I like anymore. I want to chew on something salty but all food is disgusting right now. Hope it lasts! Best wishes to everybody here.

I got hit with a lot of heparin shots yesterday but they made me drink some phosphorus and potassium. Maybe your blood came back a little low?

I have to do blood thinner for 2 weeks. They didn’t give me the rest at my appointment on the 27th and I have no more appointments before Tuesday.

      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.
