Tastes like salty tears... HA! That really made me laugh for some reason. The amount of thought, timing and effort that goes into feeling just half way normal makes everything taste like salty tears.

For Real!!!

UPDATE: I started taking Benefiber 2x a day, and it seems to have helped the Constipation issue. I've also started drinking one 16oz Propel/day and the midnight leg cramps stopped. :)

Yay for no more leg cramps!! (and for less constipation!!) I have like 5 different sugar free electrolyte powders around because I'm crazy prone to having low potassium and waking up screaming in pain isn't my favorite way to wake up. 😂 I wondered if bariatric patients could take Miralax, I find it much kinder than some other meds/methods. If you ever have to have a colonoscopy definitely ask them for the Miralax prep! It just tastes like whatever you mix it into...

      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.
