My surgery is May 15. I don’t generally like flavored water and the few I like are red. Same with Jello. I start my preop diet today. I only have a week. Surgery date came much sooner than expected.

I am starting to find that I like koolaide flavor best. I like the red flavors too. Good luck with your surgery!

LittleRouxenyhood and Lindsay, I'm sorry recovery continues to be rough on you both. Big hugs.




I wonder if bypass recovery is tougher as the sleevers checking in seem to be having easier recoveries. Then again everyone recovers differently.




Two days left for me, definitely starting to feel the nerves.


Yes, thank you SO much @CarolineLittle for putting this post together and keeping up with everyone. It’s so sweet. Many hugs to you and your recovery. Just know it gets better everyday.
I’m sure each surgery varies, and also whether it’s done robotic assisted or not. Obviously everyone’s body is different, but just glad we have this platform to talk about the differences.

      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.
