Calms? I’m not sure what that is. I did take a sip of some anti nausea that seemed to help for a little bit.

Sorry I am English and we call things differently. You take them on car journeys if you are car sick. On aeroplanes if the turbulence bothers you or on sea voyages. Glad you found something that works a bit. I feel for you. Keep us posted please

Don’t ever apologize for being English 😊 I think that’s awesome. I think what you’re describing is something we call dramamine. How far out are you, if you don’t mind my asking?

I hope you are still hanging in there! It will be worth it!! Keep drinking as much as you can and most of all, be kind to yourself. You have come so far and the finish line/start of your new life is so close.

My surgery is December 7th and I’ve been on Clear Liquids (broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles) since 11/29. My surgeon doesn’t even allow Protein Shakes pre op. I’m hungry, low energy, nauseous, dizzy, and headache…etc. I called the office and was told that this is his pre op and that ton of patients have made it through fine. I’m considering downing a Protein Shake a day just to survive until Tuesday. I’ve already lost 10 lbs.

Is this the hardest part of the process? I’m good with the changes I have to make post op, honestly can’t wait to meet me 2.0 [emoji4] but I’m struggling and crying tons because I’m so hungry and weak. Do people make it through surgery feeling like this beforehand?

My surgery is the same day as yours Protein Drinks is my lifesaver I can't believe your doctor will not let you have one im sorry but I would have had a Protein Drink

      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.
