Jason, put the soda in the fridge (not the freezer) and let it get really cold and then mix it with some juice and it won't taste so bad, cause it is awful. It makes for a fairly unpleasant afternoon, but I was so excited it went by pretty fast.

Stock up on sugar free frozen popsicles and Jello, they went down much better then broth (still can't stand the thought of it).

thanks di4au! i got some sugar free popsicles but not jello. i will get some. on the jello can i eat it in solid state our liquid?

Also, what is the best kind of juice to get to go with that nasty stuff. I have been hearing you guys talk about different stuff so I was just wandering what is the best?

Jello is fine, anything that melts as soon as you put it in your mouth is fine, like popsicles too. And those things count toward your liquids.< /p>

I bought every kind of sugar free juice I could find, not only for that, but for after surgery as well. Just make sure it's diet or sugar free and NOT citrus.

That is awesome! I pray everything goes well for you. I'm on day 4 of my 14 days with the CPAP. So far so good, but does anyone have any advise on how I can keep the nose mask from bruising my face? I have it as loose as I can get it but I still hurt up by my eye.

it sounds like you need a different mask. i tried 3 mask before i got the one that fits right. the place where you got yours should have done the same. my sister runs a office where i get my sleep apna stuff at. so i get the best there is. and what bc/bs dosent pay they eat it. so im in good shape there. but im hoping to stop using it in the future, cause i hate it.

by the way i tried out tea with splenda this morning not bad at all. and wife likes it to. and im drinking some chicken broth mixed with the broth from chicken noodle Soup. i figured it will go farther if i mixed the two togather, and its not bad. well i got alittle under 4 hours until i have to take the fleet. so im going to run to Walmart and get a few things i forgot to get. like gas-x and so on. i will check in later.:rolleyes:

thanks nmydash and alabamagirl!

well i took the fleet like they told me to. 3 tbsp. and i mixed it with some cranberry juice (nsa) like di told me to do. and it was still nasty. im sorry for anyone that has to drink that stuff. i hate to see what it taste like with out the juice. but i will have to say it hasnt been that bad since i took it. but it is working.

i have been trying to drink all that i can also. so far i have drunk 3 16oz glasses of tea with splenda,24oz of broth and chicken noodle Soup broth togather, and about 3 20oz bottles of Water. oh and one popsiclie (nsa) fat free. trying to decide if i want some chicken noodle soup broth our some Jello for dinner. lol

yes alabamagirl go and try some more mask. that might help.

and i got my surgery time. i got to be there at 9am. i wish it was earlier, but i will take it. just means it will be late when i get home. at least i get to take my son to school and my daughter to my moms before i go.

You've probably left home by now, but I'll have you on my mind today, Jason. Let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it. I'll go say my prayers now!

      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.
